Floating Boom

Calm water containment booms are engineered for effective use in low-flow environments, offering reliable debris capture, plant containment, and waterway protection. These booms are ideal for still water applications such as residential lakes, marinas, park ponds, and protected shoreline areas.

Depending on your site needs, calm water booms can be used to:

• Capture and retain floating trash for collection
• Redirect debris away from intake points or boat ramps
• Limit the spread of invasive aquatic plants
