As a standard containment boom, the Mark I is a sturdy,
economical boom for general purpose and industrial use. This particular
design is considered to be the best boom for most applications. It is
chosen for normally calm, inland waters and ports with low current
velocities, as well as slips, canals and holding ponds. It has the
capabilities required to contain a spill and the physical characteristics to
last a long time. Our unique double seals allows for smoother contouring in
action, and easier retrieval and folding. The cylindrical flotation gives
higher buoyancy and reduces or eliminates splash-over.

Most commonly used in waterways that vary in
season and weather or in shallow waters. The heavier ballast and shorter
draft make this boom hug the water in wind and helps keep it free from ice.
A great choice for canals, slips, channels, streams, swamps and ravines.
Easily deployable.
