Environmental protection

Metalith H2O barriers are designed to keep the "trouble" on one side and "safety" on the other. When an environmental spill takes place, our barriers can be quickly deployed.

Every year almost 14,000 oil spills are reported, mobilizing thousands of specially trained emergency response personnel and challenging the well designed contingency plans. Many spills are contained and cleaned up by the party responsible for the spill, but some spills require assistance from local and state agencies, and occasionally, the federal government.

There are many other types of environmental hazards.

Metalith H2O flood and erosion control barriers are suited for some types of environmental protection.
