/ Case studies
Product: DMS Booms- 400m
Location: G20 summit in Hamburg
At the G20 summit in Hamburg, DMS Booms played a critical role in ensuring safety and security of world leaders. The German Police wanted to secure the city’s main harbour and create an exclusion zone for waterborne protesters, successfully preventing them from accessing strategic locations. Over 400 meters of DMS Booms were deployed.
Product: DMS Booms-250m
Location: London
250-meter-long DMS Booms were installed with great success at the London City Airport from 2003 to 2019 to keep aircraft movement safe. Located in the Royal Docks, London City Airport’s
runway is 1,508 meters long and extends into the water. It can accommodate up to four aircraft, but only one plane can be queued up for takeoff. The others need to stay in a separate holding area until it is their turn. The booms have proven to be effective, thanks to several safety features.

Security Boom Solutions for High-Risk Waterways
Security booms are essential for protecting critical marine zones. Whether for port facilities, defense installations, or energy sites, a marine security boom serves as the first line of defense. Designed to prevent unauthorized access, a floating security barrier supports robust, modular defense for varied threat environments.
At ADOR, we provide two optimized solutions: the Advanced Security Boom and the Extreme Security Boom. These are high-performance systems engineered for tactical protection using best-in-class materials and real-world field data.
What Is a Security Boom?
A security boom is a floating security barrier used in maritime or inland water bodies to block unauthorized vessels. From mitigating intrusion attempts to defining restricted zones, these systems serve as a deterrent, a delay mechanism, and a barrier to access. Both military and commercial zones benefit from high security floating barriers installed along entryways, dam zones, and strategic facilities.
Why Marine Security Booms Are Critical
- Asset Protection: Keep unauthorized craft away from pipelines, docks, and restricted vessels with a port security barrier.
- Safety Management: Prevent incidents or sabotage near intake structures and military berths.
- Threat Response: Integrate anti-intrusion marine boom capabilities to delay and neutralize threats.
- Visual Demarcation: Reinforce restricted access zones for civilian awareness and legal enforcement.
Key Applications of Waterway Security Booms
- Naval exclusion zones requiring maritime security boom deployment
- Hydroelectric dams needing a dam security boom
- Oil & gas terminals with floating security barrier perimeters
- Bridge and ferry sites secured with boat exclusion barrier modules
Types of Waterway Barriers Offered by ADOR
Advanced Security Boom
Designed for scalable applications, the Advanced model serves as an ideal waterway security boom for controlled-risk environments. It combines visibility, buoyancy, and modular design for flexible layout and response integration.
Key Features:
- UV-stabilized polyethylene pontoons with anti-tamper connections
- Support for warning signage and barbed mesh fencing
- Hydrodynamic float design reduces drag and enhances durability
Ideal For:
- Commercial harbor entries with port security barriers
- Energy infrastructure requiring boat exclusion barrier setups
- Municipal dam protection using dam security booms
Extreme Security Boom
Engineered for mission-critical defense, this model is a fully integrated anti-intrusion marine boom with a multi-threat design. Its modules feature three-ring spike collars and fence mounts for maximum waterway control.
Key Features:
- Heavy-duty spiked pontoons for hostile intrusion deterrence

Design Principles Behind Effective Marine Barriers
An effective marine barrier must combine hydrodynamic stability, high visibility, modular repairability, and load resistance. ADOR’s booms are engineered for rapid deployment and long-term endurance, ensuring every waterway security boom installation functions with minimum maintenance and maximum control.
Floating Security Barrier Considerations
- Buoyancy Control: Tailored to wave height and flow speed
- Barrier Depth: Options for underwater nets and skirts
- Joinery System: Flexible links or bolted joints
- Accessory Compatibility: Cameras, sonar, marine lanterns
Dam Security Boom Benefits for Civil Infrastructure
Hydropower dams are increasingly protected by dam security boom systems that combine structural safety with legal compliance. These barriers reduce liability, restrict public access, and prevent accidental or intentional damage to high-risk infrastructure.
The modular pontoons used in our booms can be anchored with dynamic load adjustments, ensuring stability even in surge or drawdown conditions.
Advanced vs. Extreme Model Comparison
| Feature | Advanced Security Boom | Extreme Security Boom |
|---|---|---|
| Security Level | Moderate to High | Extreme Threat Environments |
| Structure | Float + mesh fence | Spiked floats + perimeter netting |
| Compatibility | Basic sensors | Multi-system integration (lighting, sonar, cameras) |
