AMPHIBIOUS HOVER PLATFORMS

For many years the difficult area for civil engineers to work in has been the foreshore or tidal zone. Equipment and time have been lost repeatedly in this area by simple breakdowns or by misjudging the tides. From these practical experiences, the amphibious hover platform was developed. In the remarkably short time of 2-1/2 years, the hover platform has been well-developed and is now creating new markets as planning engineers realize its potential for opening the "No-Go Areas."
