We have been involved with the design, manufacture and supply of various styles of floating boom arrangements since the mid 1980s.
Our boom floats have been used for the containment of oil, to create exclusion zones at sea (anti terrorist barrage for ships and other naval vessels), in lakes and rivers, to control floating debris and highlight areas of danger in a maritime environment.
Safety booms are a robust and proven method of protecting water intakes, pumping stations, level control sluices, weirs etc. from accidental boat incursions. They also help to prevent boats, floating debris and, most importantly, people being carried over weirs or dragged into sluices if they lose power, secure areas of harbours or basins where traffic is not permitted and protect swing bridge parapets from drifting vessels.
Our floating booms are highly visible, can be designed to have the appropriate load carrying capacity and give long service with the minimum of maintenance.
The modular construction allows booms to be manufactured to customer requirements and for length and diameter adjustment to suit particular applications. We offer a choice of end mooring arrangements including those which allow the boom to raise and lower to accommodate changing water levels.
The booms are self fendering and boat friendly in the case of a collision. If required, the booms can be provided with grab handles to offer a temporary haven for any person in difficulty in the water.
All components are designed to ensure installations can be carried out quickly and cost effectively.
Our floating booms are manufactured using a buoyant, lightweight foam core protected with an outer skin of abrasion and impact resistant polymer. These carefully chosen materials ensure that the booms are impact and wear resistant, UV stable and cannot absorb water.
As the boom could potentially save lives, product reliability is of paramount importance and in the unlikely event of the modules being damaged the closed cell foam core will not fill with water and fail.
