BLOW-OUT COVER DOME

摘要

An oil containment dome is provided herein. The dome includes an upper expanded dome-like fluid impervious membrane; a fluid impervious hollow peripheral ring attached to the periphery of the membrane to provide a depending bag-like container; and a body of drained coherent particulate material disposed within the bag-like container, thereby providing such torus as a self-supporting structure and an anchor for the dome-like structural unit.
