Ocean Booms

Universal Sliding Connectors

The Universal Sliding Connectors for oil containment booms are designed to meet ASTM standards for durability and efficiency in containing oil spills. These connectors offer a versatile solution for connecting multiple sections of oil containment booms, allowing for seamless movement across various water surfaces.

The universal slide feature enables easy assembly and disassembly, making it a practical choice for emergency response teams and environmental cleanup crews. With sturdy construction and compatibility with different boom types, these connectors provide a reliable method for preventing the spread of oil during spill incidents.

Anchoring System

Anchoring is a crucial aspect of any oil containment boom system, as it ensures the booms remain in place and effectively contain spills. The anchoring system typically consists of heavy-duty anchors, chains, ropes, and buoys that work together to secure the booms in position. These anchors are strategically placed at intervals along the length of the boom to provide stability and prevent drifting or being pushed out of place by waves or currents.

Towing Bridle

A towing bridle is a crucial piece of equipment that connects the boom to the vessel responsible for pulling it along — made from durable materials such as high-strength synthetic fibers or steel cables, designed to withstand the forces exerted during towing operations.

They feature sturdy shackles or hooks on either end for secure attachment to both the boom and the tow vessel. Adjustable components allow operators to customize the length and angle of the tow line based on specific conditions, maximizing control and maneuverability while minimizing strain on both equipment and personnel.

Boom Reel

The Boom Storage Reel is designed for the safe and easy storage, deployment and retrieval of Oil Containment Booms. The reel frame is manufactured from A-grade steel and provided with container corners.

The boom reel is equipped with a high-torque Planetary Gearbox driven by a hydraulic motor. Hydraulic brakes stop the boom reel rotation, with forward/neutral/reverse controls. To avoid jerk in the motion of the reel, a counter balance valve is also provided in the unit.

Hydraulic Power Pack

The Power Pack is powered by an air-cooled diesel engine and serves as a high-capacity multipurpose power source for hydraulically operated oil spill response equipment — it can power multiple equipments simultaneously. The compact portable unit is built on a steel frame designed for good air circulation.

For safety, an Overspeed protection valve is provided at the engine air intake and a spark arrestor at the exhaust. As standard, the power pack comes with one hydraulic circuit and can be customized based on the equipment being operated.

Spark Arrestor

The power pack is fitted with a Spark Arrestor for added safety. Its function is to catch glowing particles entrained in the exhaust gas current. Part of the exhaust system and mainly applied with diesel engines, the arrestor prevents sparks or other small flammable debris from escaping into areas where they might cause an explosion or start fires. The Spark Arrestor is PESO approved.

Overspeed Protection Valve — Chalwyn

The Chalwyn range of diesel safety shut-down valves features a small spring-loaded poppet valve created to automatically stop an engine by closing down the air intake if there is excessive overspeeding.

The valve is closed by the intake air flow passing through — as air flow increases, the closing force becomes stronger, resisted by an adjustable pre-load spring. At a given air flow the force overcomes the spring resistance and closes the valve; once closed, it will not reset until the engine stops.

Hydraulic Hose Set

Hydraulic Hose Set with Quick Release connectors.

Rated Pressure: Max 250 bar at 100°C temp.
MOC: Rubber, R2 grade.
Type: Flexible and oil resistant synthetic rubber, 2 high-tensile steel wire braids, abrasion and weather resistant.

Air Inflator for Oil Containment Booms

The Air Blower System is used for inflating oil containment booms. It is a portable unit fitted on a trolley-mounted base with collapsible/fixed handles for ease of movement, driven by an air-cooled diesel engine.

The system is provided with a standard air hose set and nozzles for inflation and deflation of oil containment booms, and supplied with a protective canvas for storage.

Lifting Slings

Four-leg webbing belt sling, capacity 8-ton x length 2 metre, with oblong assembly master link of 8-ton capacity and 50mm webbing belt of 2-ton capacity with safety eye hook at the bottom of each leg.

Crafted from durable materials such as nylon, polyester, or wire rope, these slings withstand substantial weights while ensuring safety. Flat webbing slings feature reinforced stitching, excellent load distribution and reinforced eyes for easy attachment to crane hooks and hoists.

Boom Reel Covers

A boom reel cover protects oil containment boom reels from environmental elements and damage during storage and transportation. Constructed from durable, weather-resistant heavy-duty vinyl or polyester fabric, these covers shield the reel from UV exposure, moisture, debris, and abrasion.

Available in various sizes and configurations — from small portable reels to large industrial-grade units used in offshore oil spill response — designed to withstand harsh marine environments and prolonged outdoor exposure.
