TIDAL
BARRIER BOOM
Tidal
Barrier is a special purpose oil spill containment boom for use in shallow
water environments. It features a water ballasted skirt, consisting of
two bladders joined by a perforated bulkhead, which makes this boom useful
on shorelines, coastal marshes, beaches and swamps. It is especially effective
in areas subject to tidal fluctuations.
The freeboard is provided by an inflatable (or foam filled) buoyancy chamber,
which allows the boom to function like conventional curtain booms in deeper
water.
The water ballasted skirt causes the boom to rest on the bottom in shallow
water and creates a seal to prevent the intrusion of oil with an incoming
tide, or to prevent contained oil from escaping with an outgoing tide.
Each section of Tidal Barrier is equipped with two air inflation valves
and two water fill/drain fittings.
