Environment Booms
Our unique Environment Booms are ideal for permanent debris and pollution control at vulnerable sites where a constant risk exists.
Industrial sites, nature reserves, harbours or marinas, pumping stations, water treatment works, screens, grills, dam spillways etc.
The Bolina Environment Boom is a protected design that evolved for a customer who was frustrated by the shortcomings of existing boom configurations (spilling debris, damaged floats, splitting curtains, jamming compensators, lengthy repairs etc).
Our environment booms are now the toughest of their type with a standard 26 ton material break load.
All the floats are protected behind the curtain for easy clean-up, and for laminar flow that deflects the debris towards a collection point. The whole assembly is connected by shear-bolts to avoid costly repairs, and self-aligning tidal compensators accommodate different water levels without jamming.
Next to Bolina Environment Booms, we now also offer the Ecocoast marine protection range: Silt Curtains, Containment Booms and many other marine and coastal protection barriers.
