Resin and hardener work together in a chemical reaction to create strong and durable products through a process called polymerization. It’s a very important material at Ocean Builder to manufacture the SeaPods.The synergy between resin and hardener is critical for producing strong products because it results in a highly cross-linked polymer structure. This structure provides […]

A few days ago, we had a little off-work time to give gift bags to our factory staff. They work so hard and so well that we wanted to do a little something for them. Staff appreciation is crucial to create a positive environment. It involves acknowledging the hard work of our employees and team […]

Fiberglass. Behind the scenes worker & their pride of unique fiberglass workFiberglass is a cornerstone of Ocean Builders’s SeaPod manufacturing as so many pieces are made with this material to give life to ocean living, the Ocean Builders way.There’s something profoundly satisfying about taking raw materials and crafting them into something extraordinary.As we sit today […]

Meet our Skilled Electrical Team and discover the importance of their work! When embarking on the journey of building a house, it’s easy to focus on the architectural marvels and aesthetic details and Ocean Builders team sure did something wonderful with the SeaPod that you can now enjoy too! However, one aspect that often goes […]

Today, we are installing the buoyancy chambers for the EcoPod!Constructing a floating home poses a unique challenge, primarily centered around the requirement for adaptable buoyancy and customizable ballast. Unlike boats and ships, where achieving the desired water level is relatively straightforward, a floating home—especially one built on a TriPod base—demands a harmonious interplay between all […]

Back at the factory! Our fiberglass team has been working hard on these sections and we expect to make some really strong progress as you can see in this impressive drone video!The roof will be made up of a ring of 28 of these sections that go around the edge. After this ring was installed, […]

As we continue to make progress on the underwater room, we’ve come to a huge step in the process – putting the roof on! This isn’t necessarily a difficult process but it is definitely tedious and we have to go through many steps to make it happen. The fact that we are doing this for […]

It wouldn’t make sense to have an underwater room without windows. We are explorers,we are travellers, we are enablers of sea life observation. That’s why we are making sure that the underwater room is equipped with windows that will give exclusive access to the underwater world.Yet, we have all seen enough disaster movies to know […]

After successfully testing the underwater room windows, we are ready to install the window frames that are going to host the actual windows.We previously did a great job in cutting window frame holes in the underwater room walls so that we can install the frames.It’s always safer to leave a bit of steel on the […]

We are turning on the fibreglass spray gun today for some action on the underwater room flooring today!You know how we like to play with our factory toys right? Well, we managed to fix the fibreglass spray gun that was not working the way we wanted when it arrived, so we toyed around to cover […]

The floor is ready! After doing three passes on each of the three steel sections, we’re done with that part.As a reminder since we are not all welding professionals, welding in multiple passes, also known as multi-pass welding, is a technique used to improve the quality and strength of a weld. It is commonly used […]

Factory update on the underwater room. Today we’re doing great progress on the floor section. Thanks to the great work of everyone here who worked so hard to shape these huge and heavy sheets of steel to the right shape so that we can go on with the next part: welding. As you know, welding […]

Part of the perks of living on the ocean is to have easy access to water toys such as Stand Up Paddle, kayak, or….Jet Ski! For the latter, our engineering team is working on an innovative solution to make its use easier and very much “James Bond Style!Imagine yourself suddenly deciding to have some fun […]

We never have enough heavy lifting at the factory and that’s an excellent thing because for the actual part of raising the wall of the underwater room, a delicate operation has to be done.The telehandler clamps are securely grabbing the heavy steel sheet to lift it into place.It’s a centimeter-by-centimeter operation as we need to […]

Another heavy lifting day at Ocean Builder’s factory as Grant is witnessing the handling of the first underwater room steel wall.To prepare for raising the wall of this innovative part of the SeaPod, we are using our best tool ever, the telehandler.It’s a delicate operation for which we definitely need it because the steel wall […]

Our underwater windows are coming along nicely! We’ve been seeing some great progress on the frames and now we are starting to waterproof the first completed window.Since these windows will be underwater, they must resist the water pressure at depth. That means that the window and the frame have to be incredibly strong but another […]

Now that we have the panes for the underwater room figured out, we are working on getting the window frames manufactured here at the factory. These frames will have to withstand high pressures since the room is underwater so they have to be robust and strong enough for the job.The design of the windows features […]
