The Heavy Duty Boom is a robust and durable air-inflated boom that covers the increasing demand for offshore operations and for permanent installations at e.g. exposed ports, oil terminals, refineries and power plants. Moreover, the HDB can be utilized in all climatic conditions and environments, including Arctic scenarios.

​

How it works

The Lamor Heavy Duty Boom (HDB) is most commonly stored on a Boom Reel and capacity can range from 200m to 300m depending upon the overall size of the boom. A powerpack allows the boom reel to deploy the boom into the water and retrieve the boom back onto the reel for storage.

​

As the HDB boom is being deployed operators fill each individual air chamber with air from a backpack style air blower or integrated blower for buoyancy. Trained operators can deploy 250m of Heavy Duty Boom within 30 minutes.

 

The boom is manufactured with either two layers of synthetic fabric vulcanized together with four layers of UV and oil resistant synthetic rubber or heavy-duty flexible neoprene material. The stiffeners, anchoring points, and ASTM fixing plates are vulcanized between the fabric layers of the boom. These features ensure a robust structure, in addition to easy cleaning and maintenance.

 

The boom is equipped with yellow stripes and reflectors for improved visibility. The HDB boom’s ballast is a hot-dip galvanized steel chain that gives strength and skirt support, The patented Lamor F1 air valve makes the inflation and deflation by a single operator of the HDB significantly easier and quicker than other valves on the market. The F1 air valve features flat design with an incorporated airlock without removable parts. The HBD neoprene option utilizes Munson style air valves.

 

The HDB preferred end connector is ASTM; however can also be stainless steel hinge and pin if required.
