| By Neo  WhisprWave Small Craft Intrusion Marine Barrier Installed at US Coast Guard Integrated Service Command, Alameda, CA
USCG Alameda Marine Barrier 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.
