Tidal Compensator
Adjustable Anchoring for Floating Barriers
The tidal compensator takes the work out of maintaining floating barrier in locations where
water levels change frequently. With these tide adjusters, jobsites with changing tides no longer need to factor for manual adjustments, nor do they require specialty floating curtain for the tides. Our tidal
compensators are designed to work perfectly with floating boom, silt barrier, and water baffles in maintaining secure containment areas by automatically adjusting with changing water levels.
Tidal compensators are floating barrier and containment boom connectors, designed specifically for anchoring floating barriers to secure fixtures in tidal locations or where the water levels are subject to surges from wind, weather, storm drain surges, or even boater traffic. Because they move up and down with the changing water levels, these tide adjusters help prevent debris, oil, and disturbed water from bypassing the floating barrier.

How the Tidal Compensator Works
Simple in concept and installation, tidal compensators act
as floating anchors that connect containment boom or other floating barrier to a fixed point (such as a pier, post, piling, etc.). When water levels change, tide adjuster also changes to accommodate the new
water level.
Without a tidal compensator, as the water levels rise, the floating barrier's anchor point is at risk for becoming submerged. This creates a breach of the containment area. Alternatively, if the water levels sink, the anchor point is then at risk of becoming exposed, and can also create a breach of the containment area.
With our tidal compensators, the floating barrier automatically
adjusts, sliding up and down the stationary anchor point as the water levels change.
