OILFENCE™

Designed and Engineered for Long-term Service

Thousands of feet of OILFENCE™ barrier have been in continuous use since 1972, a record of durability unmatched in the industry today. Extended service life is the design fundamental of OILFENCE™ barriers. The system was specifically and totally planned for long-term, permanent installation - not adapted from a temporary use design. All materials are specified for durability and corrosion resistance under extreme conditions.

Adverse sea and climate conditions can make sophisticated inflatables or other booms hard to launch and keep in service. But difficult environments are no problem for OILFENCE™ containment. OILFENCE™ barriers perform to design standards in climates that range from sustained Artic cold to the fierce summers of the Arabian Gulf. OILFENCE™ installations have proven effective and practical under widely varying sea, wind, and current conditions. Moreover, your crews can easily handle routine maintenance, section by section, without removal from service.

OILFENCE™ barriers are also an outstanding emergency containment solution. An OILFENCE™ barrier provides initial response capability and durability under sustained use that no inflatable or lightweight emergency response boom can deliver. In remote operations where an inflatable boom system can't be backed up, rugged and reliable OILFENCE™ barriers can form the basis for a realistic emergency response plan.

Super-Tough and Durable

OILFENCE™ installations reliably deliver many years of continuous and sustained service. OILFENCE™ materials are advanced synthetics that are both strong and highly resistant to degradation from salt water, ultra-violet light, ozone, and abrasion. OILFENCE™ stabilizers and flotation components are molded of high-strength plastics, resins, and fiberglass. The barrier fabric is woven polyester that is impregnated with polyurethane for very high resistance to both abrasion and tear.

OILFENCE™ containment is simple and fast to install. Sections connect securely without tools. The polymer, unisex end-connectors join with a patented double-quick lock that latches with twin stainless steel rods. A "super-tough" nylon handle at the top and bottom of each stabilizer allows effective tie-off and handling, plus secure storage bundling.
