Ecocoast was the first manufacturer of the full range of silt curtains in the EMEA region. The Ecobarrier Silt Curtain range is always customized to suit specific conditions and project requirements.
This range of debris booms is the perfect choice for projects of any size. With their durable design and reliable performance, you can trust these booms to protect your project's investments.
If you are looking to ensure full marine protection during an oil spill - trust in our oil boom range to get it done.
Introducing Ecobarrier Foam Containment Booms – your ultimate solution for blocking and capturing large volumes of surface foam during construction.
With these coastal protection containers, you can be sure that environmental concerns are at the forefront of our minds, meeting modern standards for sustainability. The range is designed with both flexibility and durability in mind.
A sustainable mooring solution that supports life below water.
We have developed a simple, effective dewatering solution that has proven its effectiveness in various industries. The dewatering containers are incredibly durable and require minimal maintenance thanks to their superior design features.
These data buoys are designed to collect and transmit real-time environmental, oceanographic and meteorological data for environmental protection, regulatory compliance, public health, research and operations.
Floating booms are versatile barriers widely used across a range of environments to protect water bodies and infrastructure from pollution, debris and other hazards. Here are some of the primary locations and scenarios where floating booms are typically deployed:
Yes, floating booms can be used in fast-flowing or tidal waters, but the right type of boom and proper installation are essential. Specialized booms designed for strong currents and tidal changes, along with secure anchoring and deployment, help maintain effectiveness. Regular monitoring is also important to ensure optimal performance in these challenging conditions.
Our floating booms are engineered for exceptional durability and long-term deployment. Many Bolina booms have been in continuous use in the UK, with some installations still performing effectively after more than two decades in the water. This longevity is due to their robust construction and high-quality materials, which allows the booms to automatically adjust to changing water levels and withstand demanding environmental conditions.
Routine inspections and minimal maintenance help maximize their service life, but in many cases, Bolina booms require little to no maintenance even during long-term deployment. Their proven track record in challenging environments, including harsh winters and high-flow rivers, demonstrates why Bolina booms are a trusted choice for permanent waterway protection in the UK and worldwide.
In the Nuneham Viaduct Project, the floating booms were anchored using 2.5-ton concrete blocks. This robust method provided the necessary stability to keep the booms securely in place, even against strong river currents and potential collisions with boats or barges.
Ecocoast’s Watercraft Safety Booms are designed to protect the public by preventing access to hazardous zones near dams. These systems are especially effective in keeping recreational users, such as boaters, swimmers and paddlers, away from dangerous areas upstream. For example, in the Norwich Dam project, the fully customized Bolina Watercraft Safety Boom CAB400 was chosen for its proven durability and high performance in challenging environments, including fast currents, ice formation and floating debris.
The CAB400 is purpose-built for challenging aquatic environments such as headponds, rivers, and reservoirs upstream of dam structures. These areas may seem calm but often involve hidden dangers like strong subsurface currents, fluctuating water levels, sudden hydraulic drops, seasonal ice loads and floating debris impacts. The CAB400 is designed to perform reliably in all these conditions, making it ideal for public safety around dams.
The CAB400 improves waterway safety by creating a clearly marked physical barrier that guides boaters, swimmers and paddlers away from dangerous zones near dams. Its strategic placement leverages low-flow areas to enhance self-rescue opportunities and minimize exposure to hazardous hydraulics. Built with durable materials, the CAB400 withstands year-round challenges such as ice, strong currents and heavy debris, ensuring reliable protection and reducing the risk of accidents in complex water environments.
Yes. Every Bolina Watercraft Safety Boom is fully customizable to meet the unique needs of each dam project. Customization options include adjustments to boom length, float spacing and alignment to fit site-specific conditions. Additionally, clients can specify colors, branding and signage to ensure the safety barriers integrate with regulatory requirements.
Ecocoast starts with a comprehensive risk assessment to identify critical hazards, such as accidental entry points, hydraulic risks, ice loads and debris impact zones. This detailed evaluation guides the subsequent site survey, helping our marine engineers design an optimal boom alignment and select appropriate specifications. The process ensures the final safety boom layout effectively protects the public while complying with environmental regulations and site-specific conditions.
In addition to custom boom length and alignment, Ecocoast offers a wide range of add-on options for the CAB400, including:
● Safety enhancements: Casualty lifelines, grab handles and warning signage for clear hazard communication and rescue support.
● Marine services: Complete support from assembly and installation to maintenance and recycling at end-of-life.
● Advanced marine engineering: Boomforce software to enable precise simulation of a structure’s response to factors like waves, wind, watercraft impact and similar environmental situations.
● Vessel monitoring: Integration of monitoring systems for real-time safety oversight and incident response.
Safety Booms are anchored using reliable, site-specific mooring solutions to ensure maximum security and effectiveness in all water conditions. Standard mooring methods include shore anchoring, where the boom ends are fixed to strong land-based structures using galvanized shackles and wire ropes. Another method is in-water anchoring using buoyed lines attached to robust seabed anchors like Danforth or pyramid anchors. For long or high-flow installations, intermediate anchor points and chains provide extra stability.
These mooring solutions are designed for durability, corrosion resistance and adaptation to factors like current, wind, and water level changes. Our anchoring systems are trusted for dams, rivers, reservoirs and industrial sites, delivering safety and reliable performance wherever they’re installed.
