The first line of defence
Welcome to Bolina Booms - we concentrate exclusively on  production in the UK of floating booms from pile design to installation.

The business has developed from 20 years experience in the manufacture of flotation products such as mooring and navigation buoys, together with floats for pontoons and dredging hoses. Our field experience combined with an innovative approach to design provides our customers with effective solutions, and the quality of the finished products ensures long-term cost effectiveness.

None of our booms required any repairs after the record floods of autumn 2000 and summer 2007 with current velocities reaching 5m per second.
