SCG and its partners including the Phuket Mining Rotary Club, the Rotary International District 3330 Thailand, the Rotary International District 3600 South Korea, the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, and Phuket Province, have collaborated to create an innovation aimed at restoring marine ecosystems under the project “The Magical of Save Underwater World.”

This marks the first time that concepts from Thai literature have been transformed into a masterpiece sculpture, “Hanuman Nimitta Kai,” resembling a coral reef measuring 19.5 meters wide, 20.5 meters long, and 6.4 meters high, a pavilion beneath the sea. It is shaped using SCG 3D Printing technology to serve as a substrate for coral larvae. This work will be displayed at Chartered Bank Intersection, Phuket from March 12 to April 5, 2025, allowing tourists to appreciate its beauty and raise awareness about the importance of conserving natural resources before it is installed at Siam Bay, Koh Racha, a breeding ground for corals and marine life. It will also become a new underwater landmark for divers and nature enthusiasts to experience the wonders of art combined with advanced technology, alongside efforts to conserve Thailand's marine resources.

Ms. Kanya Varunno, New Business Development & Growth Director of Cement and Green Solutions at SCG stated, “SCG has continuously committed to restoring marine ecosystems under the 'Love the Sea' project. This is the first time SCG has been tasked with translating concepts from Thai literature into a masterpiece sculpture, “Hanuman Nimitta Kai,” a character from the esteemed literature known worldwide. We began the design using SCG 3D Printing technology and printed it with a low carbon mortar formula, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1,040 kilograms, making it environmentally friendly. SCG has collaborated with the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources and academic institutions, and the empirical study proves that SCG's 3D Printing technology is indeed marine-friendly and facilitates the settlement of coral larvae.”

The advantages of SCG 3D Printing technology not only allow for the construction of complex designs with curves and shapes freely but also play a crucial role in restoring Thailand's seas through designs developed from research and the advancement of 3D printing. It can adjust light and shadow to suit the environment, supporting the growth of various coral species appropriately, and enhancing the properties of limestone in the cement to closely match seawater pH levels, ensuring strength, durability, and environmental friendliness. This improves the settlement and growth efficiency of coral larvae, aiming to restore marine resources to their former abundance. This is the foundation for further innovation, merging efforts from both the public and private sectors, led by the Phuket Art Association, the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, the Phuket Provincial Administrative Organization, and the Phuket Mining Rotary Club to expand coral restoration projects through stories from the Ramayana literature under the name “Raya,” integrating art with the conservation of marine natural resources while promoting sustainable eco-tourism. SCG has been assigned to produce the sculpture “Tosakan,” following “Hanuman Nimitta Kai,” which is seen as a gateway to driving Phuket as a city of art and culture, expected to be completed by 2025.
