Marine Security Booms

ECONAD marine security barriers are designed to create a clearly defined and physically protected perimeter on the water.

They can be used for:

• Port and harbour protection
• Naval and military facilities
• Critical infrastructure security
• Restricted and controlled water areas
• Coastal and waterfront protection
• Protection against floating threats
• Navigation control and exclusion zones

Marine security booms can also be integrated into wider security systems together with surveillance, access-control and alarm equipment.

Robust Modular Construction

Each ORCA security boom module is engineered for strength, buoyancy and long-term operation in marine environments.

• Reinforced Steel Structure – A heavy-duty steel structure provides the mechanical strength required to withstand significant operational and tensile loads.
• Foam-Filled Floats – Durable polyethylene floats provide stable buoyancy. The foam-filled construction helps the barrier remain afloat even in the event of local damage to the outer shell.
• Anti-Intrusion Protection – Depending on the configuration, the system can be equipped with steel security elements, spikes and fencing to increase resistance to unauthorised crossing.
• Heavy-Duty Connections – Individual modules are connected using high-strength shackles, swivels, steel cables and other marine-grade connection components selected according to project requirements.

The connection system allows the barrier to respond to waves, currents and changes in water level while maintaining structural integrity.

Modular Security System

The modular design allows the barrier length and configuration to be adapted to each project.
Individual modules can be assembled into short protective sections or extended security lines covering large port, harbour and coastal areas.
The system can be connected to piles, dolphins, quay structures, shore-based anchoring points or dedicated mooring systems.
Access gates can also be incorporated where regular vessel passage is required.

The ORCA system can be supplied with additional equipment according to the required security level:

• Above-water security fencing
• Anti-swim underwater nets
• Anti-drone protection nets
• Floating-threat protection nets
• Anti-intrusion spikes
• Navigation and warning lights
• Alarm and intrusion detection systems
• Manual or customised access gates
• Custom mooring and anchoring systems

Underwater and above-water nets can be manufactured from high-strength synthetic materials or stainless steel depending on the application and operating conditions.

Every protected water area has different operational and environmental conditions.

ECONAD provides project-specific design and manufacture of floating security barrier systems according to the required security level, site configuration and operating conditions.

Our engineers can take into consideration:

• Required protection length
• Water depth
• Wave conditions
• Current velocity
• Tidal variation
• Vessel traffic
• Existing piles, dolphins and quay structures
• Required security level
• Gate and access requirements
• Underwater protection requirements
• Anchoring and mooring conditions

Based on this information, the appropriate barrier configuration, module type, connection system and mooring arrangement can be selected for each project.

• High Structural Strength: Reinforced construction designed for demanding marine security applications.
• Reliable Buoyancy: Foam-filled floats provide stable flotation and additional reserve buoyancy.
• Modular Configuration: The barrier can be adapted to different lengths, layouts and protection requirements.
• Multiple Security Levels: Fencing, spikes, underwater nets, gates and electronic security systems can be added depending on the application.
• Long Service Life: Materials and components are selected for prolonged operation in marine environments.
• Low Maintenance Requirements: A robust and relatively simple mechanical design helps reduce routine maintenance requirements.
• Project-Specific Engineering: Each system can be configured according to the actual site conditions and required level of protection.
