British Petroleum Command Team and the US Coast Guard have approved initial deployment of the TIE Technologies and Geocomp Corporation OilDam as a solution to keep leaking crude oil away from the Gulf Coast shore, contain it and pump it into storage containers for recycling.
At the same time, this fixed barrier blocks oil, and is ecosystem friendly by allowing water to pass back and forth through its base, maintaining tidal flows to support critical shoreline life. The system is unique in its diverse capabilities, utilising manufacturing, fabrication and deployment techniques that have been well developed over the past 40 years.
'This is a race against the clock, our team is working 24/7 with the authorities in Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana to qualify the deployment of OilDam(TM) along their threatened coastline as quickly as possible.' Edward Andercheck, Chairman and CEO of TIE Technologies stated, 'We anticipate significant revenue growth from deployment of OilDam(TM), a current leader in our portfolio of technology driven products designed to address the true challenges and threats of our world today and into the future.'
