Read More Our Services

Over 45 years of experience designing and installing turnkey waterway barriers.

With over one hundred turnkey installations to date and counting, we are Canada's first choice for dealing with ice, debris, public safety and other types of waterway barrier that are capable of withstanding the toughest environmental and operational conditions.

Turnkey Waterway Barriers

We are an engineering firm that provides turnkey solutions – waterway barriers designed and engineered for its specific purpose and surrounding environmental conditions. Historic data is used to predict worst case scenarios of ice and debris loading, current, and wind. Every component of the boom is individually engineered to resist these forces.

Turnkey Waterway Barriers engineered to withstand the toughest conditions. Our solutions are guaranteed..

Debris Management

Debris Management

Debris booms retain or divert floating debris that causes costly power generation losses due to blockage of hydroelectric dam intakes.

Ice Control

Ice Control

Ice booms form a stable ice cover upstream of hydroelectric dams, reducing frazil ice buildup that can cause costly interruptions and revenue losses.

Public Safety

Public Safety

Deployed seasonally or year round, safety booms provide a visible boundary to warn boaters and recreational users to keep away from dangerous waters.
