Installation is Largest Contract to Date for Wave Dispersion Technologies,
Inc
Sylvan Lake, MI - Dec 19,
2005 - Wave Dispersion Technologies, Inc. (WDT), a private maritime
technology company has completed installation of the WhisprWave®
Small
Craft Intrusion Barrier™ (SCIB™) at USCG
ISC Alameda, CA, effective December 14, 2005 . The patented floating
marine barrier encloses a security zone of 2400 feet and incorporates
two swinging gates of 725 feet and 825 feet to allow for movement
of US Coast Guard Cutters into and out of the exclusion zone. The
total contract, in excess of $900,000, represents the largest completed
contract to date for Wave Dispersion Technologies, Inc.
Alameda is a city on a small island next to Oakland, California in
the San Francisco Bay. The WhisprWave® Small
Craft Intrusion Barrier™ received permitting from all required
Federal, State and Local agencies, including those specific to the
San Francisco Bay
Conservation and Development Commission. The environmental requirements
are considered the most stringent in the nation, but required no modification
to the normal SCIB™
design.
The swinging gates pivot from WhisprWaves'® proprietary "Pivot
Buoys", that are restricted to a specified watch circle so as
to maintain a limited SCIB™
catenary. Their design prevents the barrier from impinging on the
Federal channel and/or into the exclusion zone. The pivoting barrier
security gates are the largest of their kind in the world.
