What Is The Oil Boom That Protects Beaches?
Oil boom that protects beaches

Introducing the Beach Sealing Oil Boom, also known as the Shore Sealing Oil Boom, a newly launched solution specifically designed to create a seal between land and water. This oil boom protects beaches by effectively preventing spills from spreading onshore into sensitive coastal regions. Here’s everything you need to know about our Ecobarrier Beach Sealing Oil Boom, its benefits, and how it works.

Benefits of the Ecobarrier Beach Sealing Oil Boom

1. Rapid deployment: The boom is easy to deploy with its air-inflated design, quickly forming a secure seal to contain oil spills.

2. Heavy-duty construction: Made of PVC/TPU high tenacity fabric, the boom is extremely durable and flexible, which helps avoid tearing and ensures long-lasting performance.

3. Add-on advantage: The boom can be bundled with other Ecocoast products and services, helping you save both time and money. As The Marine Barrier Company, we provide you access to an unmatched range of marine barriers.

How these booms work

The unique feature of the beach sealing oil boom is its design, which includes one upper air-filled chamber for flotation and two lower water-filled chambers for ballast. This configuration ensures a good seal on exposed shorelines at low tide. During installation, water is first pumped into the two lower ballast chambers, followed by air into the upper flotation chamber.

Characteristics of the beach sealing oil boom

These oil booms extend from the shoreline into the water and can be connected to another model of boom, using their ASTM end connectors. This creates an effective barrier for containing oil spills, regardless of tidal conditions.

In summary

The Ecobarrier Beach Sealing Oil Boom plays an important role in shoreline protection, specifically designed to handle the unique challenges of tidal areas. This oil boom is ideal for protecting beaches, thanks to its rapid deployment, heavy-duty construction and add-on advantages, making it a reliable choice for preventing oil spills.
