A sustainable mooring solution that supports life below water.
These data buoys are designed to collect and transmit real-time environmental, oceanographic and meteorological data for environmental protection, regulatory compliance, public health, research and operations.
We have developed a simple, effective dewatering solution that has proven its effectiveness in various industries. The dewatering containers are incredibly durable and require minimal maintenance thanks to their superior design features.
A Beach Sealing Oil Boom , also called a Shore Sealing Boom, is designed to block oil spills from reaching the shore. Unlike regular floating booms, it has one air-filled tube on top to float and two water-filled tubes below to hold it in place. This special design creates a tight seal between land and water, especially during low tide, making it perfect for protecting beaches and shallow coastal areas.
The EBSB oil boom is ideal for use in calm, shallow water environments, including beaches, shallow water areas and even swamps. Its design allows it to form an effective barrier in these environments, particularly where water meets land and in tidal areas. This makes it ideal for environmental protection projects aiming to prevent oil spills from reaching sensitive shorelines.
The boom 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.
These booms are mainly used to stop oil spills from reaching shallow waters, beaches and swamps in coastal areas. They are particularly useful in areas where traditional containment methods are less effective due to tidal fluctuations.
The boom features rapid deployment capabilities, being air-inflated and easy to deploy. This allows for the quick formation of a seal to contain spills efficiently, making it suitable for emergency response situations.
Yes, it can be combined with other Ecocoast products, marine and engineering services to create a complete solution for protecting the coast and controlling marine pollution.
Ecocoast offers a range of oil booms tailored to nearshore settings, including Fence, Solid Flotation, Harbour, Inflatable and Beach Sealing Oil Booms. Each type serves specific water conditions and deployment needs:
Ecobarrier Fence Oil Booms function effectively in shallow, tidal nearshore conditions through a specialized design optimized for low-energy environments. Their flat-panel structure with closed-cell foam floats provides reliable buoyancy while preventing water absorption, ensuring stability in shallow waters. The UV-stabilized PVC membrane offers durability against sun exposure and saltwater corrosion, critical for tidal areas with fluctuating water levels.
Ecocoast can deploy containment solutions extremely quickly during a spill, thanks to lightweight, rapid-response designs such as inflatable oil booms. These booms can be stored compactly on boom reels, allowing for fast, efficient deployment in emergency situations, often much faster than traditional oil booms.
Early installation of oil containment booms delivers significant environmental benefits by immediately limiting the spread of oil and other pollutants, preventing them from reaching sensitive shorelines, wetlands and marine habitats where cleanup is more difficult and ecological damage can be long-lasting. By acting as a first line of defense, early containment protects vulnerable species and ecosystems, reduces the area affected by the spill and makes cleanup faster and more effective.
While the main floating booms physically contain oil, Ecocoast’s broader suite includes Water Quality Monitoring (WQM) buoys. These continuously detect oil or chemical anomalies, issuing instant alerts when thresholds are breached. These warnings enable quick action – such as deploying inflatable emergency booms – to prevent the spread and avoid serious environmental or regulatory issues. The continuous data provided helps teams adjust containment strategies in real time, maximizing environmental protection and minimizing cleanup costs.
At Ecocoast, end-of-life management is guided by a strong commitment to sustainability and responsible resource use as part of the Ecocoast 4Ds framework. Instead of sending products to landfill, marine barriers and solutions are properly removed, repaired or recycled to minimize environmental impact. We actively support clients in diverting products from landfill, reinforcing our mission to deliver long-term, sustainable solutions for coastal and marine protection.
WQM buoys continuously monitor water quality and automatically trigger alerts when contamination is detected. These alerts are directly linked to standard operating procedures, such as initiating boom deployment, notifying emergency response teams or escalating the situation to authorities. This integration ensures that detection leads immediately to containment actions, enabling a rapid and coordinated response to water quality incidents.

Ecocoast® Marineforce calculates site-specific forces, such as currents, waves and wind. This data ensures the product design is safe, efficient and fit for the environment.
Absolutely. Oil spill control can be enhanced with hydrocarbon monitoring systems that detect spills at an early stage. This early detection allows for a faster response, reduces cleanup costs and minimizes environmental damage, giving you greater peace of mind and stronger protection for sensitive marine environments.
Hydropower plants use oil-filled transformers for insulation and cooling. IEEE standards 979 and 980 require operators to contain any oil leakage or spillage. The goal is to prevent oil from reaching waterways or contaminating soil around transformer foundations.
Transformer oil is toxic to aquatic life. If it reaches a reservoir or river, it contaminates the water supply and harms ecosystems downstream. It can also foul turbine intake screens, disrupting power generation. Rapid containment is therefore essential.
Yes. During dam upgrade and rehabilitation works, heavy machinery and fuel systems operate near the water. Moreover, existing containment infrastructure may be disrupted. Floating oil booms provide an additional layer of protection during this period.
Harbor oil booms are heavy-duty and highly durable, designed for permanent installations with minimal maintenance. They use high-tensile materials and rotary moulded, foam-filled floats that provide superior buoyancy and stability in rough waters. Unlike other booms, they do not require bottom ballast to stay upright, making them ideal for long-term deployment in locations like petrochemical shipping terminals, desalination plants and marinas.
Inflatable oil booms are used in emergency situations and protected waters where rapid deployment is critical. They can be stored on boom reels, making them suitable for locations with limited storage space and quick access during oil spill emergencies.
Fence Oil Booms and Inflatable Oil Booms are the options with the quickest response time. They are designed for rapid deployment, and can be transported and installed within minutes to under an hour, depending on site conditions. Their lightweight design and easy connection systems allow for quick assembly by response teams, ensuring immediate containment and minimizing environmental impact during spill emergencies.
Yes. Ecocoast’s Solid Flotation Oil Boom was successfully used in Belgium to combat blue-green algae blooms. However, oil booms are designed specifically for containing oil spills and are most effective for that use. For other pollutants like debris or floating waste, we offer dedicated solutions such as debris booms. Using the right type of boom for each marine problem ensures the best results and maximum environmental protection.
Ecocoast delivers marine protection solutions with a truly global footprint, having completed installations across more than 65 countries. Ecocoast oil booms have been used to protect a wide range of sensitive environmental areas around the world.
Notable projects include the use of Ecocoast oil booms for environmental remediation along Scotland’s River Clyde, where they successfully contained pollutants and protected the river ecosystem. In Belgium, our floating booms have been deployed to control blue-green algal blooms in water reservoirs, helping to maintain water quality for local communities. In the Middle East, Ecocoast solutions have played a key role in protecting sensitive mangrove habitats in Kalba, UAE, as part of major ecotourism and conservation initiatives. These projects demonstrate our expertise in delivering tailored marine protection for critical and sensitive environments around the world.
Oil booms are typically deployed using systems such as Danforth-type anchors and concrete anchors, handled by skilled teams for proper positioning and stability. The selection of anchor type is based on water depth, current, bottom composition and the duration of deployment to ensure the oil boom remains secure and effective.
