Using the Right Spill Equipment Can Lessen Impact of Oil Spills

Once a spill occurs in the Gulf of Mexico, it is difficult to contain the spill or even prevent it from washing up onshore

. If it does, then the beaches could become soaked in black, messy oil and caused an environmental hazard to both humans and wildlife. However, if you have the right spill equipment on hand, you can have a better chance at lessening the impact of the spill and saving the beaches from ruin. One type of spill equipment that has been used with success is the HESCO Concertainer units. These units have a wire framework and geotextile lining and can become a sturdy protective beach barrier against oil spills, storm surges from hurricanes, beach erosion and more. They can be joined together to form a wall that can stretch for miles at a time or however long the beach is and protect every square inch of it. One the units are filled with sand or crushed rock or dirt, they hold strong against extreme events, which happen often in the Gulf waters. The geotextile lining of the units is heavy-duty and is made of polypropylene fabrics that will not break under pressure.

Also, they do not inhibit the landscape of the beaches because they blend in with it. You can place a layer of sand on top of the units with a sand blower and even place hard structures like boardwalks over them and no one can tell they are even there. However, when an event occurs, you will be glad they are there. They provide a stable core for beaches, which can change dramatically due to wave action or because of an oil spill. Although some sediment might wash away, the basket units will stay in place and stabilize the beach.

Also, since the HESCO units are permeable, agents such as Enviro Armour can be added and if an oil spill comes into contact with the units, it will be transformed from a liquid into a solid that can float in water. This means less work during an oil spill cleanup, because the solid oil can be retrieved easier and less money is spent on labor costs.

Sterling Building Specialists are leading suppliers of the HESCO units and are more then happy to provide them to any property owner along the coast. They work closely with Integrated Protection Systems to place the units in locations where they are needed the most.
