FAQS

Floating booms are versatile barriers widely used across a range of environments to protect water bodies and infrastructure from pollution, debris and other hazards. Here are some of the primary locations and scenarios where floating booms are typically deployed:

  • Rivers, Lakes, Canals and Waterways: Booms are deployed in rivers and lakes to manage floating trash, logs, aquatic plants and invasive species, as well as to contain oil or chemical spills.
  • Coastal Areas: Along coastlines, they help protect beaches and sensitive habitats from pollution and debris, especially during storm events or industrial activities.
  • Ports, Harbors and Terminals: To contain oil spills, prevent the spread of floating debris and protect critical infrastructure from contamination.
  • Critical Infrastructure Sites: Including dams, hydroelectric power plants, reservoirs, weirs, intake and outlet structures, where accumulated debris can disrupt operations or damage equipment.
  • Specialized Applications: Security booms are installed to restrict access to high-risk or sensitive areas such as naval bases, power stations and airport runways.

Yes, floating booms can be used in fast-flowing or tidal waters, but the right type of boom and proper installation are essential. Specialized booms designed for strong currents and tidal changes, along with secure anchoring and deployment, help maintain effectiveness. Regular monitoring is also important to ensure optimal performance in these challenging conditions.

Our floating booms are engineered for exceptional durability and long-term deployment. Many Bolina booms have been in continuous use in the UK, with some installations still performing effectively after more than two decades in the water. This longevity is due to their robust construction and high-quality materials, which allows the booms to automatically adjust to changing water levels and withstand demanding environmental conditions.

Routine inspections and minimal maintenance help maximize their service life, but in many cases, Bolina booms require little to no maintenance even during long-term deployment. Their proven track record in challenging environments, including harsh winters and high-flow rivers, demonstrates why Bolina booms are a trusted choice for permanent waterway protection in the UK and worldwide.

In the Nuneham Viaduct Project, the floating booms were anchored using 2.5-ton concrete blocks. This robust method provided the necessary stability to keep the booms securely in place, even against strong river currents and potential collisions with boats or barges.
