Floating Barriers For Oil
We are an industry leader in the manufacture of oil containment barriers. Our standard oil containment boom is always in stock. Elastec offers a wide variety of accessories. We can also manufacture custom floating barriers to fill individual needs. We also offer the BoomVane™ to aid in the deployment of barriers in moving water or with a vessel.
Trash and Debris Barrier
Elastec’s line of floating trash and debris barriers is designed to contain or exclude floatables. Whether you are trying to stop debris in waterways or protect beaches from invasive aquatic plants, we can provide a barrier that works for you.
Turbidity Barriers
Turbidity barriers, silt barriers, or silt screens, as they are sometimes called, are floating barriers used in marine construction, dredging, and remediation projects to control the silt and sediment in a body of water. Elastec turbidity barriers can be set up to keep construction areas in compliance and protect the environment.
Invasive Aquatic Plant Barrier
Invasive Aquatic Plant Barriers are used for the control and containment of aquatic plant life. Our floating barriers are designed with an emphasis on improving water quality and are used to maintain a natural, balanced ecosystem. Elastec barriers have recreational, agricultural, and industrial uses and control water born pollutants.
Custom Containment Barriers
Elastec can manufacture a custom boom, barrier or curtain from geosynthetic materials. Whether it’s aquatic harvesting, floating trash and debris, silt and sediment, oil spills or surface water pollution issues, our custom booms are designed with an emphasis on improving water quality through the reduction and control of pollutants.
