Shoreline Containment Boom

Water- and air-filled shoreline barrier that seals against the bottom in very shallow water and floats as tides rise.

Description

The ABASCO Shoreline Barrier contains oil spills in shallow water such as shorelines, swamps, marshes and river banks, and is especially effective where tides fluctuate. Two water-filled tubular bladders run side by side along the barrier, with a third, air-filled bladder on top.

Key features

  • Two water-filled ballast bladders and one air-filled flotation bladder
  • Rests on the bottom in very shallow water, stopping oil seeping underneath
  • Floats in deeper water, with the air bladder providing freeboard

Applications

  • Shorelines, swamps and marshes
  • River banks and tidal zones
