Under Consideration for Immediate Field Testing by BP and U.S. Coast Guard
NEW YORK, June 8, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TIE Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets:TTCS), an information technology, smart logistics, and telemetrics company, today announces BP’s escalation of TIE Technologies’ previously submitted OilDam® Emergency Containment Proposal to field review by BP and U.S. Coast Guard.
TIE Technologies’ revised OilDam® proposal has been escalated to final technical engineering review by BP’s Horizon Alternative Response Technology Team and is now under consideration for immediate field testing by the BP and U.S. Coast Guard Field Technical Operations Group.
The TIE Technologies led team had originally submitted its OilDam® Emergency Containment Proposal to the EPA’s Homeland Security Research Center and the U.S. Coast Guard for consideration on May 18th 2010. Tie Technologies Inc. is leading a team of industry experts in providing a viable solution to keep the gulf oil spill away from the gulf coast shores. The team includes Geocomp Corporation, a global leader in geo-engineer technology. These new critical OilDam® technologies are at the foundation of the OilDam® Emergency Containment Proposal, and are being patented collaboratively by TIE Technologies and Geocomp Corporation, a global leader in geo-engineer technology.
The OilDam® solution is available for immediate deployment to keep oil away from the shore, contain it and pump it into storage containers for recycling. At the same time this fixed barrier blocks oil, it is ecosystem friendly, allowing water to pass back and forth through its base, maintaining normal tidal flows which support critical shoreline life. The system is unique in its diverse capabilities, utilizing manufacturing, fabrication and deployment techniques that have been well developed over the past 40 years.
