Longest Pod Boom Installation



April 2010. A second 250 metres of Cowens' rotary moulded pod boom was deployed on the Clyde to protect the naval shipyard. Cowens' divers worked in sub zero temperatures to install the boom as a permanent safety measure against the risk of oil spills escaping or debris getting in. The boom will cope with strong river currents in two directions (because of the tidal influence), as well as wind, waves and river traffic. Click here for product info.

Cowens Ltd still manufacturing



In a world of uncertainty, with the value of sterling dropping, sea freight charges rising and products from developing countries being in greater demand so their prices are rising, it is reassuring to know that Cowens Ltd still manufacture their own products, keeping security of supply and stability of cost for the benefit of their customers. Great British Manufacturing.
