Effectively Contain Oil Spills and Protect Waterways with CPL Group's Oil Spill Containment Solutions

Oil spills in any type of waterway need to be contained as quickly as possible. The same applies to spills of petrol or any other type of hydrocarbon spill. Whether the spill is in the ocean, a river, lake, pond, or any other watercourse, the spilled material first needs to be controlled – contained – and then removed from the water.

The most common method of oil spill containment in New Zealand is the use of booms. They can be quickly deployed in spill situations and are highly effective at preventing the oil or other spilled material from spreading further into the waterway.

Oil spill boom kits can be used for a variety of objectives. This includes preventing spilled oil from being washed up onto beaches, stopping oil spills from getting into a sensitive area, or simply containing the oil until it can be removed from the water.
