Heavy Duty Dam Boom is also called debris boom as these are heavy-duty containment boom for collecting surface debris and submerged trash, litter, natural debris, and large floating objects in rivers, reservoirs, oceans, and lakes. Once the floating debris boom is installed, it starts to control all the floatable objects in marine environments. It creates a barrier that pollutants and aquatic plants such as oil, debris, seaweed, hyacinth, timber, leaves, trash, and plastic rubbish can’t pass. Using dam booms is recommended to reduce the possibility of polluting shorelines and other resources, and to help make recovery easier.
Heavy Duty Dam Trash Booms are 0.4 meters or 18 inches larger in diameter. For optimal surface debris capture and visibility, float designs are used. The floats are coupled with rugged log connection hardware with a 4.75-ton working load limit (WLL). The heavy-duty floating dam booms are capable to carry off 60,000 lb / 27,216 kg. The system is capable to allow full adjustment to changing water levels and maintain ultimate buoyancy.
