Floating Booms & Floating Barriers
Turbidity Barriers, Debris Booms, & Water Baffles
This floating boom and barrier variety provides a barrier system for all your containment and control needs. These floating barriers are designed in multiple constructions to control items such as turbidity, silt, sediment, debris, and more.

Turbidity Barriers & Silt Curtains
Turbidity and Silt Barriers are designed to provide control for sediment and silt during construction work, dredging, pile driving and more. The floating barrier design typically includes a reliable flotation device, impermeable skirt, and chain ballast.
The turbidity barrier is available in three different styles to help meet different water and site conditions. These types includes:
- Type 1 Floating Barrier: The Type 1 turbidity barrier is intended for calm water conditions such as in small ponds, canals, and swales.
- Type 2 Barrier: The Type 2 floating barrier is designed for medium site conditions. It has been used in dredging projects, pile driving, and other river and lake turbidity areas.
- Type 3 Barrier: The Type 3 Silt Barrier is the strongest barrier offered and is designed for demanding jobs, multiple deployment, or rough water area conditions.
The turbidity/silt barrier is typically chosen based on several different area conditions including water velocity, wind speed, wave frequency and height, type of sediment or silt, and duration of your project.
Debris Booms
For debris control, Floating Debris Booms are also available to help contain debris, logs, aquatic plants, and other floating items to prevent contamination. Debris booms come in a few different styles depending on your water area and the type of debris you are looking to contain.
Permanent Debris Boom- Floating Debris Boom
- Trashmesh Log Boom
- Safety & Ice Boom
- Trash Net Boom
- HDPE Heavy Duty Boom
Materials used to construct these booms have ranged from PVC, high density polyethylene, and marine grade galvanized steel. All materials are equipped to handle constant exposure to water and are capable of containing multiple items.
These debris barriers have been known to contain several different materials including the following:
- Floating Debris
- Logs
- Ice
- Aquatic Plants
- Tires
- Timbers
- Trash
- Jelly Fish
Water Baffle System
The Water Baffle System is designed as a system of floating curtains that can be used to control the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and lower the amount of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) that is currently in your water area. Their effective and economical design has allowed them to be used in a variety of waste water management and water pollution control applications.
Similar to our other water barriers, the floating water baffle has some of the following specifications:
- Elvaloy, PVC, Urethane, or XR-5 Material
- Thermally Welded Seams
- 6" Flotations
- Top Tension Members
- Galvanized Ballast Steel Chain
- End Plates and Shore Connections
