Self-Inflating Oil Containment Booms

NEO Boom is a strong, durable boom that combines the compactability of an air-inflated boom with all the benefits and strength of a boom having conventional foam flotation. The product has been proven over years to be a cost-effective solution where storage space is limited but the application requires a durable containment boom. Ease of deployment, excellent wave conformity, and high buoyancy-to-weight ratios are key NEO Boom benefits.

NEO Boom requires approximately 1/3 the storage space needed for conventional booms and can be deployed by fewer personnel.
NEO Boom's special flotation foam is self-expanding, which makes storage, mobilization, and deployment a much simpler task.
NEO Boom has no internal devices or ancillary equipment for inflation or deflation.
NEO Boom is unsinkable and will maintain functional freeboard even in damaged condition
NEO Boom self-inflates with a patented closed-cell/open-cell polyfoam combination. You simply open the air valve for boom self-inflation and deflate the boom by rolling it up into a coil or winding it onto a boom reel for compact storage.

Case Studies

Project Overview

Construction sediments were contained within designated work zones during seismic and hydraulic upgrades at three reservoirs originally built in 1888. The project included demolition, installation of new tunnel liners, and the refurbishment or replacement of water management infrastructure. Frequent barge traffic was accommodated while maintaining water quality through the use of 9,150 feet of tapered Type 3 HD turbidity curtains.
