Floating Line of Demarcation (FLOD)

HALO ORCA I™

A versatile system, ORCA I is highly customizable allowing end users to adapt this Line of Demarcation solution to their specific needs.

A Clear Line of Demarcation

The base ORCA system is comprised of interconnected floats, Lights, nets, and signage can be added to prevent unauthorized access from the waterside and a safe, clear Line of Demarcation. The system’s advanced composite floats ensure survival in harsh marine environments and are marine mammal friendly.

ORCA Features

The HALO ORCA is a versatile float system designed to establish a Line of Demarcation for sensitive areas. ORCA’s modular design allows end users to connect floats with line, wire rope, or chain, as required. Floats can be spaced to meet specific security requirements.

Modular Design

Allows end users to deploy the system in a variety of configurations depending upon site specific requirements.

Robust, UV Protected Plastic Floats

The floats are foam-filled to ensure a long service life unaffected by harsh environmental problems of temperature, sun, and high salinity environments.

Customizing Options

A variety of options providing solution flexibility. Floats can be connected together via line, wire, or chain depending upon site requirements and can be spaced at any interval depending on the application. Lights, signage, and radar reflectors can be mounted on ORCA floats using industry standard hardware to enhance safety and security, and to provide a clear Line of Demarcation.

All of our HALO products are:

  • Capable of integrating oil abatement/containment systems.
  • Able to support third-party sensors (safety, security and environmental).
  • Marine mammal and environmentally friendly.
