Tundra Boom
Specialized Containment Boom for Shallow-Water, Marsh, and Bog Environments
The Canflex Tundra Boom is a specialized oil spill containment boom engineered for shallow-water and soft-terrain environments such as swamps, marshes, bogs, and inland waterways. Its dual-chamber design combines an upper air- or foam-filled buoyancy chamber with a single water-filled ballast chamber, allowing the boom to rest securely on uneven ground and adapt automatically to rising water, functioning like a traditional curtain boom when submerged. Built from 35.3 oz/yd² high-tenacity polyurethane-coated polyester fabric with precision-welded seams, the Tundra Boom delivers exceptional durability, flexibility, and long-term performance. Multiple end connector options further enhance versatility for diverse field operations.
