Floating Barrier
The Floating Barrier from Hongruntong Marine is an engineered containment and perimeter system designed for turbidity control, debris interception, oil-spill response and security exclusion. Available in heavy-duty (Tough-Guy) and regulatory-grade configurations (FDOT-grade options available on request), our barriers are proven for demanding projects from the Rio Grande and Texas waterways to coastal deployments in the South China Sea.
Key Features & Benefits
Purpose-built for Turbidity Control — Deep skirts and controlled seepage paths limit suspended sediment transport during dredging and construction.
Tough-Guy / FDOT-Grade Options — Reinforced modules and high-strength connectors for projects that require FDOT-style specifications or enhanced impact resistance.
High-Performance Materials — UV-stabilized polyethylene shells, closed-cell foam cores and corrosion-resistant hardware for long service life in salt and fresh water.
Modular & Scalable — Standardized float modules and quick-connect joints let you assemble short lines or long continuous booms (ideal for long floating barrier projects).
Low-Drag Hydrodynamics — Smooth profiles and engineered cross-sections reduce wake, lowering mooring loads and maintenance.
Multi-Function Integration — Compatible with skimmers, absorbent booms, sensor mounts, navigation lights and temporary access gates.
Manufacturer Support — Direct factory engineering, testing and global logistics from Hongruntong Marine shorten lead times and simplify procurement.
Typical Applications
Turbidity control for dredging and in-water construction (rivers, estuaries, coastal zones)
Debris and trash interception for harbors and municipal waterways
Oil-spill containment and recovery support for ports and coastal response teams
Long-span river or border deployments (e.g., Rio Grande projects, Texas installations)
Coastal protection and temporary event exclusion in the South China Sea region
Security exclusion lines around sensitive infrastructure and marinas

Installation & Maintenance Guidance
Pre-installation: Provide a site survey (bathymetry, currents, vessel traffic) so we can issue a mooring and layout plan.
Deployment: Small teams with workboats can install short lines; long spans or FDOT-grade installs may require barges/cranes.
Inspection Schedule: Monthly visual checks, connector and mooring inspections quarterly, and annual full mechanical checks.
Cleaning: Periodic pressure wash or mechanical cleaning to manage biofouling, depending on local growth rates.
Spare Parts: Keep a small inventory of connectors, spare modules and mooring parts for rapid repair.
Quality & Service Commitment
Uncompromising Quality Assurance
At Hongruntong Marine, quality is engineered into every floating barrier we produce. Our comprehensive quality management system ensures consistent excellence through:
Certified Materials: We use only prime-grade, UV-stabilized PVC from ISO 9001-certified suppliers. Every material batch arrives with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and is tested for tensile strength, tear resistance, and chemical compatibility before production.
Precision Manufacturing: Our state-of-the-art production facilities utilize automated welding and cutting technologies to ensure every seam, connector, and component meets exact dimensional and performance specifications.
Rigorous Testing Protocol: Each barrier segment undergoes a multi-point inspection process, including:
Air pressure testing to verify integrity of internal chambers.
Load testing on connectors to 2x rated capacity.
Simulated current and UV exposure testing on samples from every production run.
Traceability: Every product is serialized for full traceability, allowing us to track its manufacturing history from raw materials to final shipment.
