Floating Barriers physically keep vessels away... from weir walls, worksites, prohibited areas, and other dangerous waterway areas. They represent a demarcation line so that there can be no doubt that a vessel has deliberately crossed the line. Floating Barriers keep vessels which may be disabled or out of control at a safe distance from weir walls and turbulent waters.
For security purposes……... apart from being a physical obstruction to vessel entry the barrier provides a demarcation line, which indicates that a vessel has intruded if it is present within the cordoned off area. Any vessel inside the barrier has forced the barrier and clearly not ‘just drifted over a marked float line or through a line of ‘No Boating’ buoys!’ The barrier not only prevents vessels from getting into the wrong zone… it most definitely indicates when a vessel is in a place it should not be. |
