Effective Debris Control for Stormwater & Natural Waterways

Floating waste and organic matter can quickly clog stormwater systems, damage infrastructure, and pollute sensitive waterways. The Debris Boom creates a dependable floating barrier that captures and contains debris before it spreads — keeping channels, rivers, ponds, and canals clear and compliant.

Unlike oil containment booms designed for hydrocarbons, the Debris Boom is purpose-built to intercept litter, branches, leaves, plastics, and noxious weeds carried by flowing water. It simplifies control, collection, and recovery, protecting both the environment and your stormwater assets.

Built for Durability and Flow

• UV-resistant shade cloth – filters debris while allowing clean water to pass through.
• Closed-cell foam flotation – ensures consistent buoyancy without risk of deflation.
• Galvanised steel ballast chain – keeps the skirt vertical and stable in moving water.
• HDPE geotextile skirts – withstand long-term submersion and abrasive conditions.
• ASTM F962 connectors – modular sections join quickly for large-scale deployment.

Where to Use Debris Booms

• Stormwater drains & culverts – trap floating rubbish before it reaches larger waterways.
• Rivers & canals – contain organic matter and urban litter during heavy rain events.
• Ponds & reservoirs – maintain water quality by intercepting leaves, weeds, and debris.
• Industrial runoff zones – prevent solid pollutants from entering sensitive ecosystems.

• ✔ Durable construction – UV-stabilised fabrics and steel hardware built for long service life.
• ✔ Low maintenance – easy to clean, retrieve, and redeploy across multiple jobs.
