West Caldwell, NJ, February 15, 2004 – Elemental Innovation, Inc, a leading engineering firm, announces its latest product, Pile Rider™. This orbital motion dock collar provides protection from pilings and reinforcement for docks that incur damage from waves and wakes.

The Pile Rider is specifically engineered for the orbital motion of waves. Its dynamic composition absorbs the impact of the wave on a structure, thereby preventing energy transfer to the dock. And unlike conventional collars, which cannot handle this orbital motion, the Pile Rider will not wear out or fail prematurely.

Composed of proven marine-grade components the Pile Rider is a robust dock collar system designed to transfer energy evenly and gradually to a piling. Mounted directly to a dock or decking in place of a collar or flange, the Pile Rider moves in a fluid-like motion on the piling. The Pile Rider is available in two variations depending upon
the shape of pilings. Our traditional Pile Rider is for circular shaped pilings, and our newest variation, Pile Rider 2 is specifically designed for pilings that are square.

The Pile Rider can be used in conjunction with our Halo wave attenuator for mounting on existing pilings, or can be retrofitted to your existing structure for added reinforcement.

About Elemental Innovation, Inc.
A leading engineering firm, Elemental Innovation, Inc. provides proven coastal protection through the ecofriendly, tunable HALO wave attenuator. For less than half the cost, the HALO wave attenuator out performs conventional technologies. By absorbing rather than deflecting the force of waves, HALO eliminates 80% of a wave’s height to protect beaches and harbors. Before founding Elemental Innovation in 2000, Justin Bishop designed and patented the WhisprWaveTM wave attenuator. After selling the WhisprWave business, he then developed more advanced technology and designed the HALO (formerly Tempest).
