ABSTRACT:
Elongate floatable equipment for use as a bouyant barrier for encircling or partially enclosing a spillage of oil, debris or other floating matter comprising hollow inflatable bouyancy units arranged in a row end to end within a sleeve which is formed by a tubular casing of deformable material. The tubular casing comprises an inner layer of a fibrous water absorbent material which is encased within an outer layer formed from a net of a high tensile filamentary material. The net layer comprises an axially-spaced series of circumferential hoops interlinked by zig zag strands that run from end to end of the casing, the hoops and zig zag strands together forming a geodetic pattern mesh. A skirt is laced to the net layer of the casing in a zig zag pattern along the casing.
