Demarcation Booms: Essential Tools for Waterway Management

Demarcation Booms: Essential Tools for Waterway Management

Demarcation booms are specialized floating barriers designed to delineate specific areas within water bodies, providing clear separation and protection for designated zones. These booms are essential for safeguarding dams, hydroelectric power plants, private and public water bodies, and for marking territories on the water.

Applications

  • Debris Control: Effectively intercepts logs, tree trunks, sticks, leaves, floating bottles, plastic waste, vegetation, water hyacinth, eelgrass, algae, ice, and slush.
  • Dam Safety: Serves as public safety barriers, waste barriers, and provides protection during consumption activities, with options for night illumination.

Implementing demarcation booms is a proactive approach to environmental protection, effectively intercepting and containing potential pollutants at their source, allowing for easy removal and preventing further environmental contamination.

Key Features

  • Robust Construction: Equipped with a special steel axle that distributes load throughout the barrier system, ensuring durability and stability.
  • High Visibility: With a draft of 50 to 125 mm, approximately 87% of the barrier remains visible above water, enhancing safety and awareness.
  • Durable Materials: The barrier shell is made of high-quality, UV-resistant polyethylene, providing exceptional strength and longevity.
  • Corrosion Resistance: The main axle is constructed from 100% welded stainless or galvanized steel, selected based on the application environment to resist corrosion.
  • Secure Connections: Sections are connected with galvanized or stainless steel chains and heavy-duty carabiners, ensuring reliable linkage.
  • Optional Features: Available with protective or trash screens placed under or above the water line, reflective marine tape, and anchors for attachment and hauling.

Size Variations

Demarcation booms are available in various sizes to accommodate different needs:

  • 30 cm in diameter and 70 cm in length
  • 40 cm in diameter and 70 cm in length
  • 60 cm in diameter and 100 cm in length
  • 90 cm in diameter and 120 cm in length

Selecting the appropriate size ensures optimal performance for specific applications.
