AMBS Cradle System
Consisting of 5 basic components (3 control units and 2 height adjustable barriers)
- Modular barrage system protecting offshore, large estuary, port and harbour entrances and coastal major structures
- Comprises three control vessels and two adjustable height barriers, together reaching 172m long. Other configurations are possible
- Engineered to break waves upto 14m high (notably Hurricane Sandy’s largest waves were recorded at 14ft.
- Designed to be positioned into the path of tropical storms.
- Reduces storm surge speed, height and velocity impact, redirecting storm wave energy, enabling a localized active storm-wave-flow management
- Generates a wide-water-barrier pool surrounding assets with becalmed water with lowered elevations
