Need a Trash Boom for use in our Reservoir
Question: Need a trash boom for reservoir areas where we are located. Do you have these?
Answer:
Hello there! Thank you for your inquiry. We do, indeed, carry trash boom. These booms, also known as debris booms, are used to capture, contain or deflect waterborne items into a collection area, where the material can be easily extracted for recycling. These containment booms can be used in almost any area, included reservoirs, to control silt and debris.
Choosing a Trash Boom for Reservoir Area
Similar to using a trash boom in various other applications, choosing a barrier for a reservoir location will depend on the water conditions. If your area is large, has a significant water flow, or is experiencing other outdoor factors, these can all contribute to the type of boom that you choose for your location.
Reservoir Water Conditions we typically urge customers to consider when looking for any kind of boom or barrier include:
- Water Flows
- Type of Debris Being Contained (are items small, such as plastic or paper? or are the items large, such as logs and timbers?)
- Flow/Containment Area
- Tides/Currents
If you are specifically looking to contain trash particles, such as plastic, wrappers, debris, and other materials such as these, you might consider one of our standard Floating Debris Booms. These barriers feature PVC coated materials and are a reliable option for this type of containment.
Our trash boom standard sizes are 50' and 100' sections. You can choose from an 4', 6', or 8' foam filled flotation collar made from heavy duty 22 oz/yd2. The galvanized steel ballast chain comes in the following sizes: 1/4', 5/16', 3/8'. If these dimensions are not suitable for your application, we do have site specific/custom designs available.
