The heavy duty containment boom is a high buoyancy, durable, permanent floating containment solution for sargassum seaweed and other marine debris in municipal areas with strong tidal conditions.
Made with marine-grade materials able to withstand heavy use in a variety of tidal conditions, heavy duty permanent boom is specifically designed for longer term use. Municipalities need durable solutions for the continual flow of marine debris that washes up on their beaches and into their harbors.
Heavy duty containment boom is adept at controlling sargassum on and around public beaches and waterways to keep shores clean and water clear.
There are several options for controlling floating debris:
- Containing
- Diverting
- Excluding
Heavy duty containment boom most often contains marine debris like sargassum seaweed, algae, and other aquatic plants. Debris that is contained with a heavy duty boom can be harvested in the water with trash skimmers, pumps, or vacuum trailers, or diverted to another location for collection. The heavy duty containment boom can also exclude the floating debris, sending the seaweed back out to sea.
