HEAVY DUTY DEBRIS BARRIERS

Heavy-Duty Permanent Floating Barriers

ABASCO’s heavy-duty floating barriers are built for long-term protection in demanding aquatic environments. Engineered for superior buoyancy, durability, and dependable performance, our barriers provide effective control of floating debris, trash, sargassum, and invasive vegetation in a wide range of marine and inland water applications.

With ABASCO SIGMA, you’re investing in protection that lasts. When your project demands dependable environmental protection, choose the barrier built to perform—ABASCO SIGMA BARRIERS

Applications for Debris & Trash Booms

ABASCO floating debris booms help contain, redirect, and control floating materials to protect waterways, shorelines, and critical infrastructure. Designed to limit the spread of debris, plastics, and aquatic vegetation, these systems are ideal for managing:

Description	The 18" Belting is used in lighter applications or for faster moving water. The 18" Geogrid Netting primarily works for light collections of top floating debris.	The 18" Belting is used in lighter applications or for faster moving water. The 36" Geogrid Netting allows for deeper debris or light debris buildups at the barrier.	The SB-24/24 is similar in size to the SB18/36 but will have increased tensile strength and a deeper drat the remains solid/impermeable which helps with small floating fragments (leaves, wood chips, etc..) or oil in the water.	The 24" Belting is used in heavier applications where the additional tensile strength and deeper belting under the surface might be required. The 36" Geogrid allows for a draft of 4' which is ideal when dealing with heavy Sargassum buildups.	The 24" Belting is used in heavier applications where the additional tensile strength and deeper belting under the surface might be required. The 48" Geogrid allows for over 5' of draft to work on the largest debris buildups.

Heavy-Duty Permanent Floating Booms

ABASCO SIGMA Floating Debris Booms are engineered for permanent installations requiring dependable containment and deflection of heavy debris buildup. Featuring a durable belting system with HDPE floats and reinforced screen or monofilament fabric, these barriers allow water flow while preventing debris from passing through to protected shoreline areas.

Designed for challenging aquatic environments, SIGMA booms provide long-term performance with customizable options, including geogrid netting, chain ballast, and application-specific configurations to meet project requirements.
