Brute Boom

Brute Boom

The Elastec Brute Boom is a heavy duty debris containment boom (specifications) for surface and submerged trash, litter, natural debris and large floating objects in rivers, reservoirs, oceans and lakes. Brute Boom’s larger diameter float designs (18 inch / 0.4 m and 24 inch / 0.6 m) provide increased freeboard for optimal surface debris capture and visibility. The floats are coupled with rugged log connection hardware with a 4.75 ton working load limit (WLL). The heavy duty boom has been tested to a breaking strength of 60,000 lb / 27,216 kg. The system is engineered to maintain reserve buoyancy, even while supporting the optional debris screens.

FLOTATION LOG SECTION AND DEBRIS SCREEN SIZES

Brute Boom logs are available in 10 ft / 3m and 20 ft / 6m lengths and in 18 inch (16 inch sustainable freeboard) and 24 inch (22 inch sustainable free board) diameters. The cost per foot decreases significantly for 20 ft logs providing a more economical and efficient system. Galvanized and Stainless steel mesh panels, fabric net/mesh and custom-designed debris screens are also available in 10 ft and 20 ft lengths. Screen depth sizes can be customized based upon project requirements.

FLOTATION LOG

The flotation log is a corrugated, high density, double-walled, UV resistant HDPE. The galvanized steel ballast beam intensifies horizontal and vertical strength for increased debris and water current loads. Closed cell expanded polystyrene foam filling maintains buoyancy even if HDPE outer shell is compromised.

LOG CONNECTORS

Composed of galvanized or Stainless steel and designed for marine environments, the Brute Boom connector shackles have a 4.75 ton working load limit (WLL) and are built to withstand heavy debris loads and continuous current velocities. The shackle bolt and nut are secured by a corrosion resistant Stainless steel cotter pin.

BRUTE BACKER

The Brute Backer is a shield made of heavy weight industrial belting to mitigate floating debris loss between float log joints. The Brute Backer’s durable construction will provide years of reliable service while maintaining flexure.

COLOR

The corrugated HDPE barrier standard color is black providing 10+ years of UV protection. Orange and yellow colors are also available with minimum quantities with 8+ years of UV protection.

WARNING SIGNS

Durable aluminum signage with routed lettering provides high-contrast visibility for warning messages.

What type of debris are you trying to control? What is the water depth of the installation site? Does the water level at the installation fluctuate? How much does the water level fluctuate? How often will the site be maintained or cleared, and by what means? Do you have a site plan that would show the barrier in relation to a structure? What is the bottom sediment/material? (For anchoring consideration) What is the total length of barrier required? For freight cost estimates, what is the delivery location?
