The water ballast containment booms are used to protect areas exposed to tidal flow. The beach boom has two interconnected bottom water chambers (ballast) with two fill/drain water valves and one top air chamber (buoyancy/ towing) with one fill/drain air valve. All chambers have automatic relief valves which protect the unit from overpressure.
The Beach Sealing Oil Boom is manufactured with high strength coated fabrics and its ends are reinforced to avoid tearing. Each section has two aluminum end quick connectors with stainless steel bolts and pins. These units are collapsible and can be folded for easy storage and transportation.
