Oil booms, also known as oil spill containment booms, are floating barriers designed to protect marine areas from the damage caused by oil discharge. They can be implemented in ports, harbors, pipeline and intake projects, and in marinas as well, to protect them from oil spills. Their primary function is to minimize environmental damage by containing the oil and preventing it from spreading to larger areas.
We offer a range of high-quality booms for oil spills, including Bolina Harbour Oil Booms, Ecobarrier Solid Flotation Oil Booms, Ecobarrier Fence Oil Booms, Ecobarrier Inflatable Oil Booms, and Ecobarrier Beach Sealing Oil Booms, each customized for specific conditions and applications. Contact us today to get the right solution for your requirements.
Bolina Harbour Oil Booms are heavy-duty oil booms specifically designed for critical infrastructure installations.
Usually installed in locations such as petrochemical shipping terminals, ports and desalination plants.
The floats are made using a rotary-moulding process, are foam-filled, long and wide, hence providing excellent buoyancy and stability even in rough water. With this construction, there is no need to use bottom ballast to keep the booms upright. The booms come with specially designed and tested stainless steel hinge connections. These booms ensure your infrastructure is safe, even in the toughest conditions.

Ecobarrier Fence Oil Booms are primarily intended for static or low current applications to contain oil.
The Ecobarrier Fence Oil Booms feature a set of flat panels that float on the water’s surface, containing oil with closed-cell floats to prevent water absorption. Built with UV-stabilized PVC membrane for durability, these booms offer easy coupling via ASTM Z-connectors or zipties. This design allows faster deployment compared to other non-inflatable oil booms.

Ecobarrier Inflatable Oil Booms are designed for quick deployment in emergency situations.
These air-inflated booms are designed for rapid deployment in protected waters. They can be stored on boom reels, which is the most effective way of deploying them during emergency situations. They are also an excellent choice when storage space is limited.

Ecobarrier Beach Sealing Oil Booms create a seal between land and water, to prevent spills from spreading on shore.
This boom is ideal for shallow water areas, beaches and swamps. It features rapid deployment capabilities, being air-inflated and easy to deploy. This allows for the quick formation of a seal to contain spills efficiently.
It is constructed from high tenacity PVC/TPU fabric, making it extremely durable and flexible. This material choice ensures the boom is resistant to tearing and can withstand tough environmental conditions.
Additionally, the Ecobarrier Beach Sealing Oil Boom can be bundled with other Ecocoast products and services, providing a comprehensive solution that helps you save both money and time.

To be your turnkey partner throughout every stage of the marine barrier lifecycle, addressing your coastal and waterway challenges with a commitment to prioritizing performance, longevity and sustainability.
Designing a product properly is crucial for success, but it is often neglected. Choosing a product or solution without the right design lowers the chances of success. We identify the problem, collaborate on the best solution and analyze data using specialized software to determine the needed material properties for optimal performance.
Correct installation is crucial for project success. Improper installation can strain barriers, even with the right design and product. Our products are designed for specialized handling, with loads concentrated correctly. This phase also includes on-site maintenance and repair. Proactive maintenance catches small issues early, extending material lifespan and reducing wastage at the project’s end.
The software outputs help us select the right product by making sure it meets design parameters and is made correctly with the right materials and methods. We also consider end-of-life planning, installation and maintenance. Choosing the wrong product can complicate the implementation phase.
This stage covers everything from proper removal and storage to repairing or recycling the product. Proper removal is crucial; it can determine whether the product becomes a reusable asset or ends up in a landfill. Even if the product reaches the end of its life, our barriers are 100% recyclable, ensuring we help you divert 100% from landfill.
