PERM Boom

Key Specs

  • Available Heights: Offered in 18 in., 24 in., and 36 in. options.
  • Durable Fabric: Constructed with heavy-duty 175 oz. PVC Coated Polyester.
  • Float Type: Features High-Impact Bolt-On Floats for high buoyancy.
  • Connectors: Uses standard ASTM Universal Slide Connectors.

Overview

PERM Booms are high-buoyancy, long-term floating containment barriers designed to control seaweed, Sargassum, and other forms of floating debris. Built for extended use in calm open-water conditions, PERM Booms provide a durable solution for sites that require ongoing containment rather than short-term or temporary deployment. Their heavy-duty construction includes high-impact bolt-on floats, PVC-coated polyester fabric, ASTM Universal Slide Connectors, and ballast weights for dependable performance over time.

Available in 18-, 24-, and 36-inch heights, PERM Boom sections are offered in 50-foot, 100-foot, and custom lengths, allowing systems to be configured for different containment areas and project requirements. The design is intended to withstand extensive use while providing potential long-term cost savings for recurring floating debris and seaweed management needs.

Applications

  • Sargassum and seaweed containment in calm open-water areas
  • Floating debris control for sites experiencing recurring surface debris
  • Long-term waterway containment where extended deployment is needed
  • Calm open-water applications requiring a high-buoyancy floating barrier
  • Ongoing debris and vegetation management where temporary containment may not be sufficient
  • Custom containment configurations using 50-foot, 100-foot, or custom-length boom sections

Enviro-USA™’s Permanent Containment Boom, also known as a Hardboom or PERM Boom, is a heavy-duty marine barrier specifically engineered for long-term, permanent installations and highly frequent deployments.

Built to survive the harshest marine environments, the PERM Boom features exceptional tensile strength, high impact and tear resistance, and built-in protection against UV degradation and marine growth. Because of its rugged construction, it requires little to no maintenance. It can be left in the water indefinitely and will provide years of reliable usage without its performance being compromised.

Because of its extreme durability, the Permanent Boom is the go-to solution for a wide variety of industries, municipalities, and private property owners:

  • Ports, Harbors & Marinas: Ideal for frequent deployments around vessels that are loading or offloading hydrocarbons and fuels. The boom can be left in the water and deployed daily around ships without degrading the product.

  • Coastal Resorts & Homeowners: Serves as a highly effective, long-term barrier for seaweed and sargassum deflection, keeping resort shorelines and private coastal communities clean.

  • Thermoelectric Power Plants: Permanently installed to block floating trash, branches, heavy debris, and even ice from reaching and damaging expensive intake turbines.

  • Environmental Protection Agencies: Put in place to permanently secure highly sensitive ecological areas where a potential spill or debris influx would be extremely difficult or costly to clean up.

  • General Debris Containment: Perfect for any waterway, canal, or commercial facility that requires a permanent defensive line against floating trash and surface debris.

 

PERM Booms are built with high-impact bolt-on floats, 175 oz. PVC-coated polyester fabric, ASTM Universal Slide Connectors, and ballast weights. They are available in 18-, 24-, and 36-inch heights, with 50-foot, 100-foot, and custom-length sections. These features make PERM Booms well suited for long-term floating debris and seaweed containment applications.

A PERM Boom is best suited for sites that require ongoing or long-term containment of floating debris and seaweed rather than short-duration deployment. It is designed to withstand extensive use in calm open-water conditions and can provide significant cost savings where recurring containment is needed over time.
