PERMAFENCE
The PermaFence containment boom is designed for permanent installations and minimum maintenance. This heavy-duty boom is capable of withstanding long-term deployments and the arduous conditions of permanent installations. Our specially molded foam filled floats have a unique design that greatly enhances the impact resistance while providing high buoyancy reserve. These floats are produced in HDPE material that provides excellent UV and abrasion resistance. American Marine, a division of Elastec, has been manufacturing quality floating boom and barrier products since 1967. Learn about how Elastec’s oil booms meet ASTM and ISO standards, and OPA90 regulations.
The PermaFence floats are very simple to maintain and can be easily removed for cleaning from the heavy-duty belting. The floats are mounted on an algaecide treated PVC or Urethane Polyester belting.
We offer a choice of containment boom connectors including ASTM compliant Universal Slide or “Z” connector. PermaFence is fitted with zinc anodes and handles.
PermaFence boom is available in several sizes, we can also fabricate to order. It may also be used for trash and debris applications, as well as invasive plant control.
Optional Accessories: Anchor Sets, Tidal Compensator, Tow Bridle, Marker Lights, Boom Stand Off Units, Repair Kits, Alternative Connectors, Magnetic Hull Connectors.
