Oil Containment River Boom
Oil Boom River Containment
Question: I am in need of an oil containment river boom, skirted. We would be using this for a Hazmat response team needing to respond to fuel oil that has the potentially of leaking into a river. Do you have anything like this available? 
We would really prefer something that is easy to transport in a limited amount of space.
Answer: For the containment of river spills, there are a couple of different containment options you could consider. Since you have mentioned needing something that is easy to transport, you might consider using an a product like the Inflatable Oil Boom. This type of inflatable structure will allow the boom to lie completely flat around reels and other storage devices for quick transportation. Once the boom has arrived to your location, it can then be inflated and deployed around a spill.
