Boom and Barrier Marine Accessories

Marine anchors and marine anchor kits are required marine accessories for all containment boom and turbidity curtain installation projects, regardless of the site's water conditions. The style of anchor is important, as each type is designed for specific conditions with more rigorous environmental and current conditions require additional anchoring. Proper implementation significantly reduces stress on the curtain or boom and redistributes weight throughout the floating barrier. This alleviates strain, secures the barrier's placement, and protects your investment from damage and tears.

Standard anchor kits include an anchor, steel chain, polypropylene rope, and a buoy. We offer a variety of anchor models to choose from, for options to best fit different types of riverbeds and lake bottoms. Custom solutions are also available. Our standard anchor kit options include:
