FAQS

A debris boom – also known as a trash boom, river boom, containment boom or floating debris barrier – is a floating barrier designed to prevent the spread of floating waste and debris in rivers, lakes, canals, waterways and coastal areas. These barriers effectively trap and contain items such as leaves, logs, seaweed, plastic and other trash, helping maintain clean and safe water environments. Debris booms protect aquatic life, prevent blockages in critical infrastructure like dams and reservoirs, and support environmental compliance by making it easier to collect and remove floating pollutants from the water.

Floating debris booms offer several key advantages for waterway and coastal management:

• Effective debris containment: They trap and prevent the spread of floating waste such as plastic, logs, leaves, seaweed and other trash, helping to keep rivers, lakes, canals and coastal areas clean.
• Protection of critical infrastructure: Debris booms help prevent blockages and damage to dams, hydroelectric plants, water intake screens and reservoirs, reducing the risk of flooding and operational disruptions.
• Improved water quality: By containing and facilitating the removal of pollutants and natural debris, debris booms support cleaner and more potable water environments.
• Reduced maintenance costs: These barriers minimize the time and resources needed for manual debris removal, streamlining maintenance operations and lowering overall costs.
• Environmental protection: By preventing trash and debris from entering sensitive habitats, debris booms help protect aquatic life and support environmental compliance.

The Bolina Permanent Debris Booms and Log Screen Booms are highly effective floating barriers engineered to capture and contain all types of floating waste. Their unique design ensures the boom maintains an optimal vertical position in the water, automatically adjusting to changing water levels and flows for maximum debris capture.

The smooth, flush-faced construction allows floating debris to collect efficiently against the boom without obstruction. This design also enables workboats to easily and quickly collect the accumulated debris, streamlining removal and reducing maintenance time and costs.

Debris booms are widely used in a variety of water environments to contain and control floating waste and debris, including:

● Rivers and lakes: Preventing debris from spreading and affecting water quality.
● Canals and waterways: Containing debris to protect navigation channels and sensitive habitats.
● Coastal areas: Safeguarding shorelines, beaches and marine habitats.

What sets Ecocoast apart is our comprehensive approach. We do not just supply products, we deliver end-to-end solutions tailored to each project’s unique requirements. Our team uses advanced design tools and proprietary software to ensure the right product selection and configuration for every site. We also offer debris monitoring and ongoing support to maximize barrier efficiency and environmental impact.

The installation of debris booms is a highly engineered process that starts with a thorough site assessment. Our engineering team typically provides clients with a detailed questionnaire and, when necessary, conducts onsite evaluations to gather essential data. Key factors considered include water flow velocity, direction, seasonal variations, wind speed, wave action, debris type and volume and site-specific challenges such as the presence of critical infrastructure or fluctuating water levels.

Based on this assessment, the optimal boom type, length, configuration and anchoring system are determined. Engineering calculations are performed to ensure the boom can withstand expected loads from water currents and debris impact, using data on flow rates and site conditions. Anchoring options are selected according to geotechnical parameters and local equipment capabilities.

During installation, boom sections are assembled and connected using robust end connectors and ballast chains are attached for stability. The boom is then positioned in the water and anchored securely to withstand environmental forces and maximize debris capture. For complex or critical sites, custom engineering drawings and installation plans are provided to ensure precise placement and optimal performance.

This rigorous, engineering-driven approach ensures that debris booms are not only effective in containing floating waste, but also durable and reliable in protecting water quality and critical infrastructure.

Our debris booms and oil booms serve different primary functions and are built from materials suited to their roles.

FAQS

An oil boom, or oil spill containment boom, is a floating barrier placed on water to contain and control oil spills. By surrounding or diverting oil, it keeps spills confined, protects sensitive marine zones, and makes cleanup – such as skimming – easier and more effective.

Oil booms are deployed wherever there is a risk of oil entering waterways, including:
● Ports and harbors (to protect berths and marinas).
● Pipeline and intake structures (to safeguard water intakes).
● Desalination and petrochemical terminals (to shield critical infrastructure).
● Coastal, inshore, nearshore and offshore zones (depending on boom design).

Ecocoast offers five main types, each designed for specific environmental and operational needs:

Bolina Harbour Oil Booms – Heavy-duty, foam-filled floats with stainless-steel hinges, ideal for long-term use in ports and terminals.
Ecobarrier Solid Flotation Oil Booms – Made from UV-stabilized PVC, these versatile booms are suitable for general use in a range of water conditions.
Ecobarrier Fence Oil Booms – Flat-panel design with closed-cell floats, best for static or low-current sites.
Ecobarrier Inflatable Oil Booms –Air-inflated for quick emergency response and easy storage, perfect for rapid deployment in spill situations.
Ecobarrier Beach Sealing Oil Booms – Air-inflated PVC/TPU fabric designed to seal shorelines and shallow waters, preventing oil from reaching sensitive coastal areas.

Yes, many Ecocoast oil booms are designed for multiple deployments. After use, these booms can be cleaned and redeployed or relocated, thanks to their durable construction and high-quality materials like UV-stabilized PVC and high-tenacity PVC/TPU3. This robust design allows them to withstand repeated handling, environmental exposure, and maintenance cycles.

Oil booms are made up of flotation elements, tension members, ballast, skirts, freeboard, and various fittings. The skirt, or draft, prevents oil from escaping underneath the boom in low current conditions, while shallow draft skirts help reduce tension on the boom. These combined components ensure effective containment and stability in a range of water environments.

Key factors to consider include site conditions (such as waves, wind and currents), location, installation period, whether the boom will be moored or towed, its performance characteristics (like wave response and material strength), and convenience features such as ease of handling, cleaning and storage.

Ecocoast oil booms can be integrated with other marine pollution control measures as part of a comprehensive spill response strategy. Prior to deployment, we support clients with engineering-based spill response plans. Oil booms serve as the first line of defense by containing and concentrating oil, making it easier for additional solutions – such as skimmers, sorbents or dispersants – to be deployed within the confined area. Our monitoring buoys can continuously track water quality and hydrocarbon levels, providing real-time data to guide response actions and assess environmental impact.

Ecocoast offers comprehensive support services for oil boom solutions, including expert design and engineering with tools like a proprietary force calculator, professional installation using own workboats and precise deployment planning.
