Floating Barriers are applied to zone off a water zone from debris, silt turbidity or oil etc.,. These are contained to a specific designated area so that it can be efficiently collected for subsequent disposal or cordoning of working zone, i.e. bridge pier area that need to prevent silt spreading to the whole water catchment. The design of floating barrieris dependent on what are to be contained i.e .rubbish, floating oil, it is also dependent on the site condition i.e. high velocity rivers, deep reservoir etc.
Generally, floating barrier consists of buoy, cable, net, ballast, or location buoy.
