- Inflatable booms can be used for offshore and inshore use.
- They are typically emergency booms for rapid deployment. The booms incorporate a number of advanced design features.
- Fitted with either tension wires or a ballast chain and quick release couplings.

The smaller booms can be supplied in packs complete with
carrying valise and a foot operated inflation pump. The
larger booms can be contained on a reel for storage, deployment
and boom retrieval. For the larger booms we recommend the
use of a petrol powered blower.

- Inflatable for emergency use.
- Solid buoyancy available for more permanent installations.
- Compact for easy storage.
- 5 metre sections make any length of boom required.
- More durable than cheap disposable booms.
- End connectors use velcro and self-tensioning ties to create a complete seal.
General Description
This boom has been developed to
compete with mini booms which are very simple, almost throw
away, semi disposable boom. However, we have gone a stage
further in providing a heavy duty woven polypropylene fabric
coated version to reduce abrasion wear and to improve the
resistance to tear of the main fabric.
The buoyancy chamber is folded and welded but with open
ends into which are inserted inflatable air bags made from
robust heavy duty synthetic material with air valves which
can be connected to foot pumps. These air bags can be removed
for repair in the event of puncture using conventional repair
kits and if badly torn can be completely replaced if required.
The skirt is selvaged into which is inserted a galvanised
steel wire to give tensile and ballast. The end connectors
are universal to enable sections of boom to be joined together.
Section lengths can be anything - we have made 30 metre
lengths but we would normally provide 5 metre lengths with
2.5 metre long air bags in the buoyancy chamber.

General Description
The OPEC range of 'COASTGARD' inflatable buoyancy containment
booms complement the 'HARBOURGARD' range of rigid foam buoyancy
booms and give the user a free choice to equip with the
type of boom which is best suited to the site requirements.
'COASTGARD' booms are manufactured from heavy duty polyurethane
coated woven polyester fabric with all the joins welded
using the latest techniques in high frequency welding and
these joins are designed to be stressed in shear for maximum
strength and reliability.
The air filled buoyancy chamber is capable of withstanding
inflation pressures many times that which is recommended
for normal operation. The standard lengths of boom terminate
in universal connectors enabling rapid and easy joining
of the individual sections to each other and to other booms
using the same type of connector. A tension wire is contained
in a longitudinal pocket at the base of the skirt and this
wire carries all tensile loads. Mooring points are available
at each end of the boom sections.
