"You may recall that you provided a trash boom for Guildford Borough Council in 2006.  Just to let you know that it is working well and I have attached two photos for you which you are welcome to use in your company portfolio if you wish."

Environment Booms
Environment boom protecting the Tees Barrage
Tees Barrage - over 1000 tons of debris per year
Our unique Environment Booms are ideal for permanent debris and pollution control at vulnerable sites where a constant risk exists - oil terminals, nature reserves, harbours or marinas, pumping stations, water treatment works, screens, grills, dam spillways etc. 

This protected design (design right 2008) evolved for a customer who was frustrated by the shortcomings of existing boom configurations (spilling debris, damaged floats, splitting curtains, jamming compensators, lengthy repairs etc). 

Our environment booms are now the toughest of their type with a standard 26 ton break load. All the floats are protected behind the curtain for easy clean-up, and for laminar flow that deflects the debris towards a collection point. The whole assembly is connected by shear-bolts to avoid costly repairs, and self-aligning tidal compensators accommodate different water levels without jamming.

Environment Boom solutions:

     >> Litter Fence Booms
 
Bolina Booms has a wide range of project experience - here are some typical examples:
  • Environment Agency - 3 year program of Safety Booms for the River Thames (current contract)
  • Cardiff Harbour Authority - 500m Litter Fence Boom to protect a nature reserve
  • London City Airport - 250m Airport Security Boom
  • British Waterways - Chain Booms for guarding weirs throughout northern England
  • BAE Systems - 100m latching boom to close dock entrance
