Chatoyer designed and fabricated a floating debris boom for a stormwater canal that withstood the strong flow rates in the canal. An old malfunctioning boom from another supplier was removed and the new Chatoyer industrial debris boom (shown) installed in it’s place.
Project Overview
Date: August, 2010
Location: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Features Summary
| Boom Length: | 20.0m long |
| Boom Material: | UV Resistant Geomembrane |
| Float: | Closed Cell PE Foam |
| Ballast: | 8mm Galvanised chain |
| Connectors: | Heavy Duty Universal connectors |
Project Summary
- Canals running alongside industrial areas can contain a large volume of contaminants that should be blocked and managed.
- These canals can generate significant flows and hence ill designed and fabricated booms will not withstand the forces and will malfunction.
- A Chatoyer boom was designed, manufactured and installed and successfully met the requirements to trap debris and withstand the canal flow rate.
