Type: Inter-Tidal Boom
Primary Use: Shoreline
|
Use:
Protection of shorelines from offshore spills. Containment of shallow
shoreline spills. Containment of marsh spills to prevent entering
coastal water. Preventing oil from entering or escaping tidal areas.
Description:
This inflatable containment boom was designed with a water ballast
chamber to provide protection for tidal and shallow water applications.
The water ballast chamber seals effectively to sand or mud. The
boom will function in its floating state as a conventional oil
containment boom. As the tide ebbs, the water chamber will settle
on the bottom and prevent oil from escaping with the tide or entering
the tidal zone. It is packaged in self-contained aluminum boxes
of 500 feet of boom. Best deployed at low tide with air chamber
inflated and water chamber empty because once the water chamber
is filled it cannot be moved unless its floating. Comes with air
and water inflators, fuel can, repair kit, anchors and rope.
