ABSTRACT:
Floating oil are containment boom sections are provided with one or a plurality of collapsible and inflatable bladders or buoyancy chambers, extending along the upper edge of the boom section's skirt, and enclosed inside an elongated gas-impervious sleeve which is also collapsible and independently inflatable through its own inflation/deflation valve, producing dual chamber inflated buoyant flotation forming the upper edge of the boom. ASTM scarf-joint connectors join adjacent boom sections, which are ballasted along their lower skirt edges and provided with tension-carrying reinforcing cable, chain or webbing.
