Curtain Booms
Introducing Emtez Curtain Booms (also know as PVC fence booms or Spill containment barriers), which are designed for efficient water management in inland and sheltered environments. Boasting a high buoyancy-to-weight ratio, these barriers exhibit excellent responsiveness to wave action, making them particularly suited for deployment in harbours.
Constructed with internal cylindrical floats, these booms achieve superior buoyancy. The PVC-based skirt, complemented by a ballast chain, enhances stability and minimises sway, ensuring optimal performance in the presence of water oscillations.
Components of a Curtain Boom
Our curtain booms offer exceptional UV resistance and chemical resilience, specifically designed to withstand acids, alkalis, solvents, and hydrocarbons. Customisation options include different sizes and material types such as Polyurethane (PU) and Neoprene.
Engineered for deployment in sheltered or tranquil waters, these Curtain Booms provide technical efficiency for a variety of aquatic conditions. Explore the technical prowess of our barriers and elevate your water management strategies with precision and reliability.

Optional Extras
Efficiently store marine containment barriers with the Emtez Storage Racks or Reels. These secure and compact designs ensures organised, easily accessible, and damage-preventing storage. Ideal for limited storage spaces, it maximises efficiency while maintaining a clean and organised workspace.
Rapid deployment containers offer versatile and swift solutions for emergency response, military operations, construction sites, temporary storage, disaster recovery, remote locations, military and field hospitals, as well as security and law enforcement needs, due to their adaptable design and quick setup capabilities.
The Emtez Tide Compensator maintains the effectiveness of a spill containment barrier by adjusting its position and tension to account for tidal variations, ensuring consistent containment regardless of tide levels.
Towing equipment for marine containment barriers is essential for swift deployment, maintenance, and emergency response, enabling repositioning to address environmental challenges in marine environments.
Anchoring equipment for marine barriers is necessary to secure and stabilise the barriers in aquatic environments, preventing displacement due to currents, tides, and waves. This ensures effective containment, particularly during emergencies like oil spills, and enhances the overall reliability of marine barrier systems.
Anti-turbidity curtains are essential for maintaining water quality during construction, dredging, or marine activities by effectively containing and preventing the spread of sediment and pollutants, supporting environmental protection and regulatory compliance.
