Floating Boom

Calm water containment boom is specifically designed for mild water conditions. It works best in bodies of water with no current flows, waves, or limited tide activity, such as residential ponds and lakes. Calm water boom also can provide adequate protection to smaller marinas. The Parks and Recreation department can use debris boom to keep seaweed and other aquatic plants from clogging public boat ramps and swimming areas.

Moving water containment boom is used in areas with some flowing water, such as ports and streams. While not suited for fast currents, it can handle some waves and tide adjustments. It's often referred to as river boom, since it is designed for the type of moving water found in many rivers throughout the country. Water Management can use containment boom to keep floating debris coming out of rivers and canals from entering water treatment reservoirs and other areas.

Open water containment boom is the strongest of our standard boom models. Meant for offshore areas and coastlines, our open water floating boom can handle higher tides, more frequent waves, and fast currents. Stainless steel and zinc anode components should be used in saltwater locations, especially for extended deployment. Emergency Management can deploy offshore floating boom after rough storms and hurricanes to help prevent ocean debris from washing onto shore. Offshore boom can also be used for oil spill containment.
