Easier Oil Spills Clean Up

One of the most difficult tasks to undertake is oil spills clean up. Cleaning up a beach is a long, drawn-out process that can take months and even years to rid the beach of all oil. However, some innovative techniques have made it somewhat easier and quicker. HESCO® Concertainer® units have made oil spills clean up easier because they stop the oil before it reaches the beaches, if installed correctly. They are a gabion-like contraption that is packaged flat and easily opened and installed. With a powerful sand blower, the units can be filled with sand, crushed rock or other dirt-like material and then become a strong as a cement wall. The oil that washes up on the beach will first meet the units and the sand will absorb it. Workers can then dispose of the sand inside the units and the beaches stay free and clear.


The HESCO® units are also easy to set up. Two people working together can put up a 30-foot tier in under 30 minutes. This will save time as well as money when there is an oil spill out in the Gulf of Mexico. Flood sandbags can do a similar job, but it takes seven hours and 10 people to put in 1,500 bags, which is same amount as a 30-foot tier. Property owners who are already having to shell out cash to save their beaches can save on labor costs when they need beach protection by utilizing the HESCO® units. The units can also be used for multiple purposes such as flood control. They will work like sandbags and absorb any flood waters that threaten your property.

 The HESCO® units are an even greater tool for oil spills clean up when you add Enviro Armour™ inside them. This is an agent with a proprietary blend of polymers that molecularly bond with the oil and turn it into a floating rubber mass that solidifies. It makes oil spills clean up much easier than having to clean up a liquefied mess that oil leaves most of the time. Also, the solid oil can be reused as a raw material like:
 · Rubber
 · Plastic
 · Fuel

 Most importantly, you need to have the right people install the HESCO® units. You need people who understand the geological nature of beaches as well as the surrounding environment and wildlife.
