The long awaited successor of the archaic beach flag warning system.
Conforms with standardized Red-Yellow-Green-Purple-Double Red beach warning paradigm.
Custom shape designed for 360 degree viewing with minimal blind spots.
Change automatically based upon local National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts.
Manually "override" or set the colors through software applications. Override and revert to autonomy at discretion of the beach managers.
Control directions and range of light travel to mitigate light pollution and protect marine life.
Cross bars labelled with 'R', 'Y', 'G', 'P', 'DR' for colorblind swimmers.
Automated dimming feature adjusts based on ambient light. Sleep modes for park closed hours.
Electronically triggered flotation cabinets for mass management.
Triggering cabinet engages various emergency pathways notifying diverse stakeholders.
Orient first responders through geolocation, weather conditions, and camera feeds.
Electronically monitored cabinet can be paired with cameras and alarm systems.
Supports 24" or 30" life rings with up to 100' of rope with built in mounts.
Cabinets designed to protect flotation from UV, salt spray, winds, and ice.
Cabinet heaters prevent ice formation allowing for access during winter months.
First in the industry. Versatile and mobile mounting solutions necessitated by the harsh and volatile beach environment.
Ground screws offer low footprint structural platforms for rescue towers to stack on top off.
Ground screws structures can operate even in silty sand by digging deep down with extendable length into a solid foundation.
Protect natural dunes, marine life, and wetlands using the slimmest possible foundation mitigating the impact.
Rescue stations on ground screws can be removed, lifted, and installed in other locations. In some cases re-using the same ground screw.
Expand rescue station functionality into a myriad of verticals.
Screen emergencies, monitor beach conditions, and better manage your beach resources and its patrons. From Pan-Tilt-Zoom to Infrared to cost-effective time lapse. We have a suite of cameras to fit every use case.
Garner beachgoers attention through audio alarm systems, faceplate speakers, or even callable loudspeakers. Loudspeakers allow for amplified audio channels through built in phones. Schedule canned messages to streamline beach management.
Geolocated emergency callboxes can make or break a rescue. Route calls and canned messages to any combination of numbers. Pair phones with faceplate cameras to screen emergency calls.
Built-in directional flood lighting on demand for nighttime emergency management, search and rescue, or trespass/vandalism prevention.
Improve nearshore hazard forecasting using a suite of observational equipment such as weather stations, buoys, cameras, and more. Onsite observations allow for highly localized forecasts tailoring BNL autonomoy to your beach.
Rescue stations can double as internet infrastructure base stations allowing for private or public internet access. Give your team access to wireless internet access for dramatic improvements in workforce efficiency.
* Features are at various levels of development, please contact us for details.
Our custom engineered lights focus on addressing the impact of glare on visibility. Our cylindrical BNL has a recommended range of 300 feet radius, maximum 500 feet radius, in worst case “glaring-cloud” visibility. During dusk or cloudy situations the light is visible by many times the baseline distance.
All SwimSmart products bring their own private network to your beach. We specialize in remote connectivity providing reliable internet where others cant. We operate in some of the most remote locations in the country.
Rescue stations can support either concrete pad or ground screw mounting. For ground screw implementations the unit can be mounted in almost any soil environment – including loose sand. Rescue stations are designed to thrive right in the action on the beach. We recommend setting the unit back behind the Mean High Water Line as dictated by local building code.
Our products have carefully engineered solar power options. These solar assemblies are designed to operate reliably throughout the season even during prolonged storms, salt spray, and nighttime. Battery systems ensure the system operates even when the sun doesn’t shine.
While actual layout can vary from beach to beach, a rule of thumb is a spacing of 300 feet for high traffic areas and 500 feet for low traffic areas. Typically a majority of the units should focus on the most populated parts of the beach but it’s equally important to provide proximate stations at landmark remote locations where response time is greatly delayed.
While it’s difficult to leave hurricanes unscathed, SwimSmart assemblies are certified to meet or exceed regional wind ratings such as 90, 120, 140, 150, and 180 mph. Please contact us to determine applicable wind ratings in your area.
Our cylindrical light offers range and direction control. The “pie-shaped” light can be controlled in 30-degree sections and three separate range bands of 30, 100, and 300 feet. Sections can be dimmed or downlight disabled to protect sea turtles or other marine life. Sleep mode turns the light off during park closed hours.
All components used throughout the unit are selected based upon its resistance to corrosion. Many metal components also receive galvanization, wet paint, and/or sealing coats to ensure a resilient finish. Touch up kits are available in the event a unit is scratched.
The rescue stations metal enclosure measures 12.5″ in diameter and stands 12 feet tall to the bottom of the light. The top of the metal pole is approximately 15 feet tall. As of now the current solar assemblies add another 6 feet bringing total height to 21 feet tall.
