All floating booms have anchor points located at intervals along their entire length. These anchor points ... transfer the load directly to the tension member. 2, record 1, English, - anchored%20floating%20boom
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Unless the boom is securely anchored from both sides, a strong gusting wind opposing the direction of the current will often cause the barrier to alternately move back and forth over the water surface. 2, record 1, English, - anchored%20floating%20boom
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
A major consideration in the deployment of floating booms in ... waters is the anchoring of barriers in a manner which compensates for tidal fluctuations in current direction and velocity. 2, record 1, English, - anchored%20floating%20boom
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 4 OBS
If the boom angle is too great for the current velocity the boom will either break away from its anchoring points or oil will be carried beneath it. 2, record 1, English, - anchored%20floating%20boom
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 5 OBS
Since there are tremendous forces on a boom deployed in a diversionary mode, the barrier is always firmly anchored to the shoreline and numerous anchors are used throughout its entire length. 2, record 1, English, - anchored%20floating%20boom

Toutes les barrières ont des points d'ancrage répartis sur toute leur longueur, [...] [qui transmettent] directement la charge au câble de tension. 3, record 1, French, - barrage%20flottant%20ancr%C3%A9

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
Un élément important de la mise en place [d'une barrière] est le mouillage réalisé de telle façon qu'il compense les fluctuations de direction et de vitesse des courants dues à la marée. 3, record 1, French, - barrage%20flottant%20ancr%C3%A9
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 4 OBS
Quand les barrières servent à la dérivation, [...] si l'angle est trop grand pour la vitesse du courant les ancres déraperont ou les hydrocarbures passeront sous les barrières. 3, record 1, French, - barrage%20flottant%20ancr%C3%A9
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 5 OBS
Parce que les barrières de dérivation sont soumises à des contraintes très fortes, elles sont toujours amarrées solidement à la rive, et de nombreuses ancres les retiennent sur toute leur longueur. 3, record 1, French, - barrage%20flottant%20ancr%C3%A9
