Cyan Nodes
Wind Park Scour Protection
Cyan Nodes are scour protection modules that increase biodiversity. Complex shapes and calcareous material provide habitat for species such as Atlantic cod, European lobster, and European flat oysters. As Cyan Nodes comply with the technical specifications of armour rock, they are easily integrated into rock scour protection systems… Learn more.

More information
Cyan Nodes are scour protection modules that increase biodiversity. Complex shapes and calcareous material provide habitat for species such as Atlantic cod, European lobster, and European flat oysters. As Cyan Nodes comply with the technical specifications of armour rock, they are easily integrated into rock scour protection systems.
Nodes are made of natural chemical components with a controlled shape and surface complexity to provide shelter and habitat for marine life of various types and sizes, promoting biodiversity. The surface complexity also results in increased organism growth compared to standard rocks allowing for more CO2 sequestration, furthering nature enhancement and offsetting CO2 emissions from infrastructure installations.
Moreover, the Cyan Nodes’ stability have been tested to be safe in severe hydrodynamic conditions. Finally, engineered to suit conventional installation methods, Nodes make nature-enhancement incorporation into wind parks a more attractive choice.
