FAQS

Ecocoast’s Inflatable Oil Booms are rapid-response floating barriers designed to contain oil spills in calm to moderately dynamic water environments, such as marinas and sensitive marine areas like mangroves. These booms are air-inflated, allowing for compact storage on boom reels and extremely fast deployment when every minute counts. Once deployed, they form a robust physical barrier that prevents oil from spreading, helping to protect marine ecosystems and infrastructure. Their lightweight, durable construction ensures easy handling and reliable performance during emergency spill response, especially where storage space and swift action are critical.

Ecocoast oil booms are constructed from high-performance, oil- and chemical-resistant materials such as PVC, polyurethane and high-tensile fabrics, with added UV stabilizers to ensure durability in harsh marine environments.

The choice of material directly influences the boom’s buoyancy, flexibility and lifespan. For example, Ecocoast’s Bolina Harbour Oil Booms use rotomolded, foam-filled floats for exceptional stability and long-term performance, even in rough waters. Lighter materials like polyurethane are ideal for rapid deployment and temporary use, while heavy-duty, high-tensile fabrics are selected for permanent installations and critical infrastructure protection.

These material choices ensure that each oil boom is tailored to specific site conditions, offering reliable containment, easy deployment and minimal maintenance across a range of marine applications.

Ecocoast oil booms are quickly deployed either from shore or by boat, with modular sections easily connected for the required length. Once in place, they are securely anchored using site-appropriate methods such as ground anchors or ballast weights to ensure stability in varying water conditions. Maintenance involves routine inspections for damage, checking connections and anchors, and promptly repairing or replacing any worn sections to ensure ongoing effective performance.

Ecocoast manages seasonal and extreme weather variations by providing oil booms specifically engineered for different conditions, including heavy-duty models with robust, foam-filled floats and high-tensile materials for rough waters. Anchoring systems are customized and regularly adjusted to match site-specific weather and water forces, ensuring the booms stay secure and effective even during storms or rapid environmental changes. This approach keeps sensitive areas protected year-round.

Yes, oil booms can be reused, but their reusability depends on several factors. The type of boom, the extent and type of oil contamination, environmental conditions during deployment, and how well the boom is cleaned and maintained all play a role in determining if it can be used again. Heavy-duty and high-quality booms – like our Bolina Harbour Oil Booms – are more likely to withstand multiple uses, especially if they are properly cleaned after each deployment and regularly inspected for damage or wear. If a boom becomes saturated, damaged or deteriorates, it should be replaced or disposed of according to local regulations. Proper storage and maintenance further extend the lifespan and performance of reusable oil booms.

For Ecocoast products, test reports can be made available upon request to verify performance and compliance with project requirements. These reports detail the results of rigorous in-house and third-party testing, ensuring that each product meets specified standards for durability, effectiveness and safety. Clients can request these documents to support project documentation or regulatory submissions, providing added confidence in the quality and reliability of Ecocoast solutions.

Ecocoast offers specialized booms for specific marine challenges, ensuring the most effective solution for each problem. While oil booms are engineered primarily to contain and control oil spills, Ecocoast provides dedicated debris booms for managing floating waste, plastic and other debris in waterways, ports and critical infrastructure sites. Using the right type of boom – oil booms for oil, debris booms for trash and floating waste – maximizes performance, durability and environmental protection. This targeted approach ensures that each marine issue is addressed with the most suitable and efficient barrier system.
