Blue21 | Revolutionizing Maritime Engineering with HydroMEC+

HydroMEC+

Revolutionizing maritime engineering for comfortable living on floating urban projects

At Blue21, we’re proud to showcase HydroMEC+, our cutting-edge toolkit for maritime engineering and 3D simulation tailored specifically for floating urban projects. Developed over the past five years by our experienced team led by Bart Roeffen and Rui Gomes. HydroMEC+ stands as the world’s first design and simulation toolkit for floating urban development in maritime conditions. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive approach, Blue21 embarked on this journey to offer a more complex and sophisticated solution compared to existing toolkits in the market.

Empowering sustainable living

HydroMEC+ is not just a product of technical expertise; it emerges from our team’s profound understanding of the evolving needs in floating project development. Recognizing the limitations of existing tools, we endeavored to create a solution that goes beyond traditional engineering boundaries. By integrating various 3D modeling approaches from architecture and maritime engineering, we adopted a holistic approach that enables us to address complex challenges while prioritizing the well-being of communities. Our vision is that over one billion people will live on water by 2050. As urban populations swell, the task of providing adequate housing and infrastructure becomes increasingly daunting. HydroMEC+ represents more than just a toolkit; it’s a transformative solution that empowers architects, engineers, and urban planners to envision and realize vibrant, resilient communities on water.

Unmatched insight and efficiency

With HydroMEC+, we offer more than just technical insights; we offer peace of mind. Our toolkit provides unparalleled insight into the stresses, forces, and bending moments affecting floating structures. Unlike traditional methods, we deliver these insights swiftly, saving not just time and money, but also ensuring that the focus remains on creating spaces where people feel secure and at ease. It’s not just about efficiency; it’s about creating homes that nurture and protect.
