FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

SHORELINE EROSION CONTROL SOLUTIONS ACHIEVES 95% WAVE ATTENUATION IN INDEPENDENT TESTING

College Station, TX – The Results Are In! Shoreline Erosion Control Solutions (“SECS®”) completed two weeks of independent lab testing and the results exceeded all expectations.  The tests were conducted at Texas A&M’s Rellis Technology and Innovation Campus by Dr. Kuang-An Chang, Professor of Civil, Environmental, and Ocean Engineering. Both offshore and onshore SECS® units were tested between September 23 - October 6, 2024. 

SECS®’s onshore units reduced wave energy by 95% and the offshore units achieved an astounding 96% in energy reduction and wave attenuation.

The graph below details the results of Texas A&M’s results:

 

 

 

 

Joe Pandak, co-founder of Shoreline Erosion Control Solutions, was at the facility for the duration of testing.  “Dr. Chang and his team are world-renowned experts in the field of wave breaking processes, wave structure interaction, and sediment dynamics. Our team was truly honored to test with such highly regarded professionals.   From our in-water prototype units in Texas, we know Shoreline Erosion Control Solutions provide significant wave energy attenuation and erosion control, but these independent laboratory tests prove and document the results, providing hard data to share with environmental professionals.  We at SECS® are humbled to bring a new and innovative shoreline erosion control product that not only prevents the devastating effects of erosion and fast water flooding but also provides a multitude of other environmental solutions to the coastal resilience community.”

This independent, third-party testing proves Shoreline Erosion Control Solutions units are highly effective products that reflect, refract, diffuse, and attenuate wave energy. Unlike traditional seawalls, jetties, breakwaters, and groins, SECS® technologies also promote the natural flow of sand and sediment. 

Dr. Chang’s full report will be prepared for release in the next few weeks. Images and video from the testing facility are available here:
