NOFI solid floatation booms (EP-series)

This multi purpose containment boom is used in harbours, sounds and fjords. It is built with a freeboard containing pellets from expanded polystyrene (EP) inside an extra plastic bag. The freeboard is segmented in 2 m long buoyancy chambers.
Between each segment there is a vertical weld that prevents seawater from penetrating from one damaged chamber into the next.
Manual handling of 25 m standard sections is relatively easy due to the soft freeboard in contrast to the log type solid floatation booms.
Designed as a bottom tension boom the galvanized chain is somewhat shorter than the fabric part of the boom. Thus the NOFI EP-series maintains an excellent containment position in the sea.
