CONVENTIONAL
OIL CONTAINMENT BOOM
Conventional
oil containment boom is our most commonly used spill-response
boom. Also called curtain boom, it is designed with
semi-flexible internal foam flotation and a flexible
fabric skirt. ABASCO conventional boom is available
in sizes and strengths (see below) to contain spills
in conditions from quiescent waters to open ocean
waves.
Standard ABASCO Boom Features
All fabric welds are standard 2-inch
thermal welds or 1-inch radio-frequency (RF) welds
for superior strength and durability. Welds are guaranteed
for the life of the boom.
Extra-heavy hinge points between flotation
segments ensure vertical boom stability and float
integrity and durability. Hinges are RF welded and
are 3 inches wide and three fabric layers thick.
Flotation segments are 4 ft long for
superior wave conformity and ease of handling and
storage.
Polyethylene foam flotation has 100%
retractable memory for superior flotation performance
and durability.
High-tensile-strength aluminum connectors
are universally compatible and exceed industry standards.
All tension cables and ballast chains
are hot-dip galvanized.
The pre-loaded tension cable terminates
into the end connectors; the boom fabric never bears
the load.
A wide variety of fabrics, coatings,
section lengths, weights, and colors are available. |
