Abstract

The invention concerns the design of an oil containment boom suitable particularly for stowage on a reel. The boom, in its inflated condition, is of "T" section having double buoyancy chamber (11) and a central skirt member (10). The boom utilises a tension wire (15) in its lower skirt region and an air pressurising hose (14) in its upper skirt region above the buoyancy chambers (11). The geometry of the panels making up the chambers is arranged, together with the joints, to give a substantially flat deflated form. The air pressurising hose and the tension wire are of comparable diameter each being of larger diameter than the maximum thickness of the deflated boom whereby undesirable folding and puckering of the boom material when wound up is accommodated in the lateral space between the hose and the wire. <IMAGE>
