The marine containment booms and oil skimmers can be included in the standard design of the facility preventing any operational releases from spreading.

ABASCO carries inventories of marine response products that are designed for applications worldwide including:

TYPE 1, 2 & 3 Turbidity Curtains and Specialty Curtains utilized for controlling turbidity at a work site
Rugged marine containment and inflatable booms that can be quickly delivered to the site of the spill and rapidly deployed to prevent the spread of oil
Once contained in a boom, the oil can then be recovered with skimmers specifically designed to meet the need of the existing site conditions
A complete assortment of sorbents, pads and rolls are available to quickly contain small volume spills or as a final polish to remove any leftover residue
Dispersants that break up oil into smaller, more diluted and biodegradable particles; dispersants do not remove the oil but make it easier to biodegrade
Offloading and transfer pumps
Spill response kits
Temporary storage
Skimmers specifically designed to meet the needs of the existing site conditions

Marine Construction Case Studies

Project Overview

Construction sediments were contained within designated work zones during seismic and hydraulic upgrades at three reservoirs originally built in 1888. The project included demolition, installation of new tunnel liners, and the refurbishment or replacement of water management infrastructure. Frequent barge traffic was accommodated while maintaining water quality through the use of 9,150 feet of tapered Type 3 HD turbidity curtains.
