Oil anti-pollution boom BARC 3055R

floating

Description
Floating oil containment boom with weighted skirt. This boom is manufactured from PVC-coated reinforced polyester fabric (900 g/m²). It is intended for preventive or corrective use to close off an area, contain and divert a slick of hydrocarbons or other pollutants on bodies of water.

Construction and components
The boom comprises cylindrical closed-cell foam floats inserted into watertight sleeves. Compartmentalization of the elements allows the boom to follow surface movements. Its high flexibility provides good behaviour in wind and strong currents. Each float is equipped at both ends with plates and stainless steel bolts for connection and with two handles to facilitate deployment. The boom is reinforced with a galvanized nautical steel ballast chain housed in a sleeve along its full length. This containment boom is washable with water.
