Sentinel Oil Containment Boom

A versatile, high-performance curtain boom designed for rapid deployment and exceptional containment in wide ranging water environments.

The Vikoma Sentinel Boom delivers proven reliability, long service life, and outstanding wave-following performance, making it an ideal choice for ports, harbours, rivers, coastal waters and offshore applications.

 

Engineered for Durability and Long Life

Constructed from Neoprene or Polyurethane, both options provide good performance and are durable and resistant to UV and hydrocarbons.

Neoprene Sentinel is a premium product providing more durability than Polyurethane.

It withstands demanding operational conditions and performing in extreme temperatures from -40⁰C to +90⁰C.

Sentinel boom is also available in polyurethane which offers a good cost effective solution and high performance.

 

Fast, Efficient Deployment & Recovery

Designed for rapid response situations, Sentinel is easy to deploy, making it a practical solution for emergency, routine, or training use.

Key Features include:

• Fast Inflation System using low-pressure, high volume inflator for quick readiness.
• Fast Deflation Valves to speed up recovery and reduce downtime.

 

Superior Containment Performance

Sentinel's continuous cylindrical profile and high buoyancy-to-weight ratio provide:

• Exceptional wave-following capability
• Stable freeboard and draft for reliable containment
• Prevents oil escape under the boom
• The enclosed tension member- galvanised multi-strand chain or wire - maintains an optimal underwater concave profile, improving containment and preventing snagging for safer operator handling.

Optional Splash Flaps enhance performance in choppy waters by reducing splash-over without the need for larger booms.

 

Typical areas of use include:

• Ports & Terminals
• Harbours
• Coastal & Offshore environments
• Rivers, lakes & inland waterways
• Water intakes & environmentally sensitive sites

 

Key Benefits

• Rapid and easy deployment
• Smooth profile and excellent wave following
• Option for Neoprene as a more robust alternative to Polyurethane
• Easy to clean and maintain
• Long service life with reduced life cycle costs
