Jump to first matched term
GLENN DALE, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 21, 2003--TVI Corporation (OTCBB:TVIN) is pleased to announce that Maryland's Department of General Services has issued TVI an annual contract for the purchase of all the states decontamination shelters.
The award allows local agencies to purchase TVI's three-line decontamination shelter.
The decision by the Department of General Services to standardize on the TVI shelters comes after an exhaustive 5-month review and evaluation of all decontamination shelters available on the market today and enables each local and county emergency management office to acquire the equipment needed to protect the citizens in the event of a terrorist attack or a natural disaster.
TVI's 3 three line shelter is the result of 5 years of research and field-testing of mass casualty decontamination systems. It includes three decontamination lines; one for male, one for female and one for non-ambulatory personnel.
Incorporated in the shelter are integral shower booms with 12 body sprays per boom. This high density of water helps to insure efficient and complete decontamination of the individuals.
This statewide commitment to TVI continues to validate their lead position in the industry and complements the commitments from Massachusetts, Delaware, Maine, Hampton Roads, Virginia, South Carolina, Rhode Island and numerous other counties, agencies and institutions.
TVI CEO Richard Priddy stated " We are please that our home state continues to validate the effectiveness of our equipment and our systems, and I am personally pleased and comforted knowing that should the unimaginable happen, we will have access to some of the best equipment available on the market today."
TVI utilizes material containing DuPont (DD) products in its shelters.
