Most commonly used in waterways that vary in season and weather or in shallow waters. The heavier ballast and shorter draft make this boom hug the water in wind and helps keep it free from ice. A great choice for canals, slips, channels, streams, swamps and ravines. Easily deployable.

Hardboom was developed specifically for permanent deployment and is one of the most effective ways to have your boom system in place before a spill occurs. Offering three (3) standard designs, Hardboom protects those areas where it would be particularly sensitive to an oil spill; the area that would be far too costly to get into and clean up; the area, which if shut down for a lengthy period, would cost more than the cleanup. It was also designed to protect your facility from someone else’s problem.

As a standard containment boom, the Mark I is a sturdy, economical boom for general purpose and industrial use. This particular design is considered to be the best boom for most applications. It is chosen for normally calm, inland waters and ports with low current velocities, as well as slips, canals and holding ponds. It has the capabilities required to contain a spill and the physical characteristics to last a long time. Our unique double seals allows for smoother contouring in action, and easier retrieval and folding. The cylindrical flotation gives higher buoyancy and reduces or eliminates splash-over.

Hardboom is made of super strong, high tensile belting, 60 times stronger than most fabrics used in deployment booms. The floats are constructed from super durable, high quality foam filled ABS plastic. The closed cell filled floats are tested tough for withstanding abrasion, resisting marine growth, taking on wave action and remaining functional at all times.
