When working near water, the stakes are high. From oil sheen to sediment plumes, even minor discharges can trigger major consequences. Containment booms and turbidity curtains are your first defense-if you choose the right ones.

Containment Booms

Engineered to float and trap surface contaminants, booms are essential for:

Oil spill control
Debris and trash management
Duckweed and algae containment

Booms feature UV-resistant fabrics, flotation chambers, and weighted skirts. SkimOIL offers both standard and heavy-duty options, customizable to your site.

Turbidity Curtains

These vertical barriers are submerged below the waterline to contain suspended solids during:

Dredging
Bridge or pier work
Shoreline excavation

Available in Type I, II, and III models based on water flow and project duration, SkimOIL’s turbidity curtains meet state and federal compliance standards.

Why Use Both?

Booms handle what floats. Curtains handle what clouds. When used together, they form a complete water protection system for environmentally sensitive zones.

Don’t let runoff, silt, or sheen shut you down.
