OILFENCE™

Simple to Use

Towing OILFENCE™ sections presents no difficulty. The system can include towing bridles that, like OILFENCE™ section connectors, quickly secure without tools. OILFENCE™ sections aver very lightweight for their size. With a bridle in place, a string of OILFENCE™ sections can be easily and safely towed into position.

The fully symmetrical design of OILFENCE™ sections, with equal freeboard and draft, greatly simplifies routing maintenance. When cleaning is needed, each section is simply turned over. The sea growth can then die and fall off. All OILFENCE™ surfaces are smooth and non-porous, so they are readily cleaned in position with industrial detergents and pressure washers.

You can custom fit an OILFENCE™ barrier to the depth, wave, and tide conditions at your facility by choosing among four available heights: 16 inches total draft and freeboard, 24 inches, 36 inches, and 48 inches. Sections of differing heights can be easily connected together, when required for a particular installation.
