Dam Security and Protection Barriers

The heightened focus upon homeland security has led to increased scrutiny of the security measures that are in place to protect our nation's key infrastructure elements. The dam infrastructure that has been created over the last 150 years is vital to our country's economy and welfare; consequently they represent a high value target for terrorists.

Recognizing the value of our nation's dams and the terrorist threat that they are currently face; Wave Dispersion Technologies, Inc developed the Small Craft Intrusion Barrier™ (SCIB™) to provide dams security protection from terrorist activities.

• Dams in the U.S. produce over 74,000 megawatts of renewable electricity and meet almost 10% of the nation’s power needs.
• Every state has hundreds of dams.
