Aqua-Guard supplies a wide range of Oil Spill Containment Booms, Boom Storage Reels and Accessories for responding to oil spills in most types of environments including difficult land and shoreline situations, permanent harbour installations and open water wave conditions.
HarbourFlex Boom
HarbourFlex permanent containment boom is designed to protect Port facilities, loading terminals and marinas. HarbourFlex features long term durability, excellent resistance to ultraviolet, wave action and marine growth with very low maintenance.
HarbourFlex is available in two models - HarbourFlex-L with the standard, long float and HarbourFlex-S, a new design with short style floats that can be used on our SeaReel system. Aqua-Guard also offers a wide range of slide guide attachments for securing the boom to any dock or piling.
Features
-
HarbourFlex is constructed of very durable conveyor belting material and can be left in the water for years with minimum maintenance
-
The HarbourFlex floats are roto-moulded and foam filled. They provide superior buoyancy and higher stability in rough water and eliminate the need for bottom ballast to keep the boom upright
-
HarbourFlex-S can be stored on an Aqua-Guard SeaReel
-
Cost effective tidal compensators and dock sealing systems are available
-
Easy to use open/close system to allow vessels to enter and leave the protected area
AirFlex Neoprene Boom
AirFlex Neoprene is an air-inflated boom with all the benefits of conventional AirFlex plus increased UV resistance and excellent inflation characteristics. AirFlex Neoprene provides superior performance and reliability over conventional air-inflated booms with enhanced resistance to the Sun`s ultraviolet rays and a vulcanized construction that ensures airtight inflation. It`s segmented chamber design means damage to a single boom section will not result in the loss of boom integrity and the durable Neoprene material can easily be repaired in the field should damage occur. Aqua-Guard manufactures AirFlex Neoprene Boom for use in a wide variety of conditions from calmer inner harbours to open ocean waves. Custom sizes are available on request.
AirFlex Boom
AirFlex is an air-inflated boom designed for storage and deployment using Aqua-Guard`s SeaReels. AirFlex`s high-buoyancy makes it suitable for use in a wide variety of conditions from sheltered water to open ocean waves. It`s unique segmented chamber design utilizes a heavy-duty fabric and optional airtight inner bladders for increased puncture resistance. These are easily removed for repair or replacement if damaged. AirFlex is also available with solid foam floatation sections along the top of the boom to keep it afloat should one of the chambers deflate. AirFlex is very compact in storage and large quantities can be stored on Aqua-Guard`s SeaReel Boom Storage Reel systems. AirFlex is also available in a single chamber model on request.

- Rugged construction using top quality components
- Round floatation provides increased buoyancy over "fence" style boom
- Ease of deployment
- Can be stored on a boom storage reel
Riverflex Boom
Riverflex oil spill containment boom is designed for use in rivers, streams or ocean where there are extreme currents to deal with.
-
Rugged construction using high tensile strength fabric
-

-
Large Monsun MKVII valves allow this boom to be filled and emptied quickly
-
An inexpensive gasoline powered backpack air inflator is used to fill the air chamber
-
An inexpensive gasoline powered water pump is used to the fill the two bottom ballast chambers
Self-Inflating Boom
Aqua-Guard Self-Inflating oil spill containment boom is designed for use in open ocean, outer harbours with limited wave action, and protected harbours. It is deployed from containers or from a boat deck. Self-Inflating boom will deploy faster than any other air-inflated boom in the world.
-
Rapid deployment - 300 meters (1,000 ft) can be deployed in 5 minutes
-
Rugged construction using top quality components
-
Separate bulkhead chambers maintain boom buoyancy in the event of damage to part of a boom section
-
Patented one-way air valves allow air to enter while being deployed but automatically close after deployment
