Silt Curtains & Booms | Floating Debris & Weed Booms for Waterway Control Get latest price

Floating debris and weed booms are designed to intercept and control free-floating weeds, rubbish, and organic debris in rivers, ponds, lagoons, canals, and waterways. The boom forms a surface barrier, preventing spread downstream and supporting collection or management at designated locations.

Trade Enviro offers standard and custom system configurations to suit a wide range of applications and site conditions. All systems can be customised for ballast, skirt depth, or increased freeboard as required.

• Freeboard: Height of the float above the waterline
• Skirt: Woven material between the float and ballast chain
• Draft: Depth of the skirt below the waterline
• Ballast: Galvanised chain to maintain curtain stability
• Connector: ASTM-standard Z-connector

• Purpose-built to contain floating aquatic weeds, surface debris, and vegetation in water bodies.
• Allows water to pass freely while intercepting debris and vegetation, reducing fouling and drag.
• Closed-cell foam floats and UV-stabilised woven materials ensure durability for prolonged outdoor use.
• Available in a range of standard and customised sizes to suit diverse site conditions and debris loads.
• Low maintenance—minimises manual recovery and limits downstream migration.

• Ponds & Lagoons: Prevents the spread of invasive aquatic weeds and maintains oxygen transfer.
• Rivers & Canals: Intercepts floating debris and vegetation before downstream migration or structural accumulation.
• Stormwater Basins & Retention Ponds: Stops organic matter and litter from dispersing or blocking outlets.
• Wetlands & Environmental Zones: Supports ecological management by isolating areas without habitat disruption.
• Industrial & Infrastructure Sites: Contains debris near intake points, bridges, culverts, and treatment assets.

• Reverse “V”: Directs debris to the bank for easier collection and reduces flow velocity on the boom.
• One-Way Slice: Spans a waterway to guide debris to a single bank collection point (ideal with one accessible side).
• Conventional Linear: For general containment where in-water harvesting is acceptable.

• Praised for early delivery, professional handling, and effective long-lasting performance by councils and regional authorities.
