NABRICO Constructs 2 Dump Scows

For Panama Canal Commission

Two 215-foot by 50-foot by 14- foot split-hull dump scows have been constructed by Nashville

Bridge Company (NABRICO) of

Nashville, Tenn., for the Panama

Canal Commission.

The two 1,300-cubic-yard barges, the first to be built by NABRICO for the Commission, will be used in the on-going dredging operations in the Panama Canal. Each is classed by the American Bureau of Ship- ping as an unmanned ocean service barge complete with loadline.

A steel reinforced four-inch layer of concrete has been used to protect the hoppers from damage by the 15- cubic-yard bucket used in the dredging operations.

Installed on the barges are two hydraulically operated rams which can open the hopper in approxi- mately 30 seconds and close it in one minute.

After construction and prelimina- ry testing at NABRICO, the two barges were towed from Nashville to

New Orleans, across the Gulf of

Mexico to Gamboa in the Republic of Panama for final testing and acceptance by the Commission.

NABRICO is a wholly owned sub- sidiary of The American Ship Build- ing Company of Tampa, Fla. The company has been in the marine field for more than 70 years and is primarily concerned with the de- sign, engineering and construction of grain and coal barges, deck barges, liquid tank barges and ce- ment barges for river and ocean ser- vice as well as drydocks and tow- boats.

Tri-Tex Introduces New

Video Medcare First

Responder® System

Tri-Tex Marine Inc., a subsidiary of Baldt Inc., has introduced the new Video Medcare First Re- sponder® System. The First Re- sponder concept is based on the need to provide immediate medical life support to persons injured in the workplace and recreational settings.

First Responder video program pro- vides rapid visual step-by-step in- struction on injury management techniques and the use of appro- priate medical supplies now avail- able in four different sizes of med- pacs, small, medium, large and extra large.

Utilizing a unique interactive vid- eo disc program, First Responder system is intended for use at work sites and recreation areas where ac- cess to established emergency ser- vices are not readily available. The interactive video program is a color- coded system that enables the oper- ator to select instructions for man- agement of the injured victims. The video program will instruct the operator on specific care of the most common injuries. Similarly color- coded prepackaged medical kits are located in each of the four new med- ical pacs.

The most common work-related injuries and their emergency re- sponse techniques were thoroughly analyzed. Using professional actors and makeup artists, the injuries and medical response techniques were recreated for the video disc pro- gram. The extreme realism prepares the operator for the emotional shock generally associated with life- threatening injuries. These medical techniques were supervised by Vid- eo Medcare's medical director,

Charles L. Waite, M.D., former

Deputy Surgeon General of the

Navy.

This state-of-the art video laser technology is intended for both emergency response use and train- ing. The design concept makes ini- tial care available where lengthy emergency response time could ad- versely affect the survivability of the victim or result in permanent injury. First Responder is designed as a system for those people who may be called upon to administer first aid and as a skill reinforcement for those who have previous medical training.
