Auto Boom

Several features set us apart, including a unique professional focus on exploration on production in the Gulf of Mexico.

Auto Boom

Use: Containment of oil for recovery by skimmer. Preventing spilled oil from spreading. Precautionary measure in case oil may be spilled.

Description: CGA maintains 25,000 feet of inflatable containment boom prepositioned throughout the Gulf of Mexico which can be deployed and retrieved rapidly. Along with an additional 30,000 feet located in Harvey, Louisiana.

In the collapsed state, it is buoyant and can be flown to an oil spill and placed in the water, then deployed by awaiting boats. A 750 lb parts box accompany the unit and consists of chains and binders, buoys, anchors and adapters.
