Floating Containment Booms

Floating containment booms prevent or limit the spreading of floating debris and water-born
pollutants such as oil, solid waste, algae, sea- weed, etc.

They protect harbors, refineries, oil terminals, tourist beaches, and biologically sensitive areas. They can be used to re-direct floating debris and spills from strong current areas to areas where these materials can be more easily recovered.

Sava floating containment booms are the result of many years of designing and manufacturing of all types of rubber products. They are
made of special, reinforced neoprene fabric that is hot-vulcanized under pressure for superior strength and reliability.


The booms are easy to handle. Only two people are required to un-fold 200 meters of boom in approximately 10 minutes.


The properly proportioned draft part of the boom with the ballast at the bottom of the skirt ensures that the loss of contained liquid is kept to a minimum.


The freeboard part of the boom consists of air inflated chambers which provide for excellent wave following characteristics.
Cleaning of the booms is easy and simple by using common detergents and high pressure washers.


These booms take little storage space because the air chambers completely deflate.

One of Sava’s new offerings in the containment boom range of products is the Shore Protection Boom.


This boom features a triple chamber design. The two bottom chambers are filled with water and the top chamber filled with air. It exhibits excellent floating characteristics due to calculated ratio between buoyancy and the force of gravity. As the boom settles on the ground, the vertically perforated inner membrane acts as a stabilizing element that keeps the boom from tipping over. It is for this reason that the Shore Protection Boom has excellent stability and sealing characteristics. It is equally effective on sandy, rocky or shell beaches.


Due to its high flexibility, the SGB booms are very effective in protecting coastal areas during low and high tides. They are ideal for spill containment in shallow waters such as rivers and marshes. They can act as dams to facilitate clean up operations by raising the water level, as well as dykes to contain industrial spills.


By maintaining straight line, the SGB booms enable the water to whirl thus preventing the spreading of oil spill under the surface.


Due to the low inflation pressure, the booms are very flexible.


Cleaning of the booms is easy by using common detergents and high pressure washers.
