Net Booms are used for a wide variety of applications
across various industries. The use of nets reduces the cost of expensive
cleanup programs, provides controlled maintenance and minimizes the impact
on the environment due to aquatic based activities.
Elastec/American Marine manufactures most of its floating net boom to
our customer’s requirements. Each system is designed to incorporate
the best components for the specific application. Some considerations
are fouling or bio-fouling, corrosive resistant properties, ability to
withstand ultraviolet radiation (UV) and hydrodynamic conditions. Special
attention is given to ease of use, superior performance, and overall cost
reduction.
Our nets are manufactured in a number of different materials depending
on their purpose. Common net materials include stainless steel, and marine
grade coated nylon netting. Net booms can be custom made to depth and
strength requirements ranging from light duty to deep robust applications.
Custom designed systems available.
Some typical uses include controlling trash at outfalls, debris around
construction sites, aquatic vegetation at intakes and boat slips as well
as marine life exclusion in swim areas and construction zones.
