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.

Flotation Method Storage Wave Following Property Preferred Use
Upper air-filled chamber, lower water-filled chambers Compact when deflated Good Along sheltered intertidal shores (no breaking waves)

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.

FAQS

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.
