FASTWATER OIL SPILL RESPONSE
Responding to oil spills in rivers and fast-moving water can be challenging, without the proper tools, spilled oil can quickly move downstream and contaminate miles of banks and waterways. The Elastec BoomVane™, Circus Skimmer, and fast response boats are just a few of the unique and patented technologies that work in moving waters.
OptiMax river boom is easily deployed with the BoomVane™ and eliminates a web of ropes and vessels. We offer packaged fastwater oil spill solutions – trailers and specialized vehicles to help access remote places. Boom reels can be provided on road trailers.
Aluminum Landing Craft
These work boats are often used for fast response – oil spill response, rescue, fire-fighting or transport. They can be fitted with a choice of outboard motors. The proven hull form can carry a range of loads and offers a large deck area combined with a bow ramp for ease of loading equipment from the shore.
Inlander Workboat & Barge
The ELASTEC Inlander workboat is a hybrid of hull styles (Skiff, Jon, Sled) to give you a multi-purpose boat with unique capabilities. The modified V hull with a blunt bow, high sides, and a wide stance increase the payload to double that of similar boats, an impressive 4,000 lbs./1,800 kg – added to which they can be lashed together for even more versatility.
BoomVane™
BoomVane™ is a welcome advancement in oil spill cleanup technology, simplifying the challenges of boom deployment in fast water and from advancing vessel systems. It combines the science of sailing and the art of flying a kite, powered only by the water’s current. Elastec holds multiple international patents for the original BoomVane.
