TUFFSteel™
Fabricated Steel Ice Boom Solutions
Custom Engineered & Fabricated Steel Pontoons
Floating Debris, Frazil Ice, Ice Booms
Worthington floating steel barriers are designed to take advantage of advancements in materials and composites. Our floating steel barriers are commonly used as ice booms in the most formidable climates. Each floating steel ice boom system is custom-designed to site-specific conditions.
-
Our designs allow the ice boom system to deform and submerge during periods of excessive flow typically as occurs during the spring freshet.
Our unique design feature, whereby the boom submerges, prevents the failure of the boom or anchor systems.
-
US Army Corps of Engineers Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) has conducted extensive research advanced the industry’s understanding of ice forces and design considerations.
Using Worthington’s own experience from 20 years designing log boom systems, and learning from the excellent work of CRREL, Worthington has designed ice boom systems capable of withstanding extreme loads from ice jams and floating sheet ice.
-
TUFFSteel™ Pontoon sizes range from 18” (46cm) up to 42” (107cm) diameters and unit lengths up to 50-feet (15m).
