Yodock Wall Company

Intent: The intent of this specification is to describe the Yodock Floating Waterfront Barrier (YFWB) Model 2001BB. The YFWB Model 2001BB has been designed and developed by the Yodock Wall Company as a lightweight portable waterfront floating security barrier for application as a floating protective barrier for ports, harbors, marine terminals, shipyards, and other high value or security sensitive waterfront structures and vessels. The design of the 2001BB is based on years of experience and testing of Yodock landside traffic barriers and security systems similar in size and construction. The mid-sized 2001BB waterfront barrier is directly applicable to the following security and related requirements: • Providing a clear line of demarcation on the water
• Providing an impediment to swimmers attempting to cross into a security area
• Providing an impediment to small vessels attempting to penetrate a security area
• Assisting in the disablement of small vessels attempting to penetrate a security area
• Assisting in providing wave and wind protection by providing a protective lee

Description: The YFWB Model 2001BB is comprised of an external shell of extremely durable 8mm polyethylene plastic. The interior of the barrier unit is fitted with a longitudinal structural steel strength member with a �U� shaped connection or attachment point at each end. The strength member provides the longitudinal or tensile strength for the purpose of connecting units together. The strength member also has two sleeves that extend upward through the main cavity to the top of the unit. These sleeves are designed to accommodate options such as lifting eyes, fencing, and sign posting. The tension member also has steel bars that extend downward through the lower cavity of the unit to the concrete ballast insuring that the internal structure remains securely intact. The internal ballast, which is positioned in the lower portion of the unit cavity, has been designed to ensure that the unit will remain stable and vertical under normal current, wave, and wind conditions. The remaining interior void space of the unit is filled with polyurethane (floatation) foam. Galvanized safety shackles are used to connect the waterfront barrier units together.

Tests: The YFWB Model 2001BB has gone through a series of rigorous structural, corrosion, and survival tests in the laboratory and during field tests in high energy and environmentally harsh locations. Test results on the YFWB Model 2001BB are available upon request.

Intent: The intent of this specification is to describe the Yodock Floating Waterfront Barrier (YFWB) Model 2001XL. The YFWB Model 2001XL has been designed and developed by the Yodock Wall Company as a relatively large, yet portable, waterfront floating security barrier for application as a floating protective barrier for ports, harbors, marine terminals, shipyards, and other high value or security sensitive waterfront structures and vessels. The design of the 2001XL is based on years of experience and testing of Yodock landside traffic barriers and Yodock waterfront security barriers including the mid-sized YFWB 2001BB waterfront barrier. The larger sized 2001XL waterfront barrier described herein is directly applicable to the following security and related requirements:
• Providing a clear line of demarcation on the water
• Providing an impediment to swimmers attempting to cross into a security area
• Providing a substantial impediment to small vessels attempting to penetrate a security area
• Providing substantial capability in the disablement of small vessels attempting to penetrate a security area
• Assisting in providing wave and wind protection by providing a protective lee
• Providing a floating platform for installation of other detection or monitoring equipment

Description: The YFWB Model 2001XL is comprised of an external shell of extremely durable 8mm polyethylene plastic. The interior of the barrier unit is fitted with a longitudinal structural steel strength member with a shackle connection or attachment point at each end. The strength member provides the longitudinal or tensile strength for the purpose of connecting units together.
