Fence Booms

Fence booms (also referred to as flat marine barriers or PVC fence booms) are well-suited for placid waters characterised by small, non-breaking waves (<0.3 m) and currents below 1 knot.

Their design incorporates internal closed-cell foam floats, ensuring operational integrity even if water infiltrates the chambers. This configuration imparts lightweight characteristics, facilitating easy handling and immediate deployment without the need for additional buoyancy activation equipment. Installation is both rapid and straightforward.

Suitable for: These barriers are particularly recommended for deployment in sheltered areas such as ports, marinas, bays, and lakes.

Components of a Fence Boom

The barriers boast excellent stowage efficiency, enabling the storage of a considerable number of units within minimal space. Notably, they exhibit high durability due to the use of materials with superior mechanical and abrasion resistance.

The performance guarantee is upheld even in the event of a water leak in one of the floating elements, maintaining the barrier's operational effectiveness. The ease of connection is facilitated through ASTM type Z connectors (or other connectors if required).

The barrier fabric consists of polyester coated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), rendering it resistant to hydrocarbons and UV rays. The distinctive orange color enhances visibility at sea, with alternative colour options also available.
