SLICKBAR'S beach oil boom is specially designed to be used as a sealing boom along shorelines and shallow water tidal zones. It differs from conventional booms in that the sealing medium is a water ballast chamber. The design allows for shore sealing to prevent the tide from carrying oil onto the beach. The purpose of the boom's water ballast chamber is to conform to the beach. This boom can also be connected to other containment booms which may extend out into the body of water being protected. The boom's upper chamber is filled with air. This air chamber acts to prevent splash over during wave action.
