Core offering

Texas Boom Company manufactures environmental protection and spill response equipment including oil spill containment booms, turbidity and silt curtains, collapsible fabric bladder tanks, containment berms, sorbents, oil skimmers, buoys, and marine accessories. Products are fabricated in Houston, Texas using RF (Radio Frequency) welding technology with industrial-grade vinyl-coated and urethane fabrics, with both standard catalog offerings and custom fabrication to exact customer specifications.

Texas Boom Company is a manufacturer of environmental protection and spill response equipment. The core product portfolio centers on containment booms (including conventional oil spill boom in TXB-6 through TXB-36 models, river boom, inflatable boom, shore barrier boom, permanent boom, seaweed boom, cranberry boom, and fish farm boom) and turbidity curtains (Type I, II, III silt curtains and floating baffle curtains). These are complemented by collapsible fabric bladder tanks (pillow tanks, onion tanks, fuel bladders, water bladders), containment berms (drive-in berms, decontamination pools, catch basins), sorbent products (oil-only booms, pads, rolls, spill kits), oil skimmers (Komara series, Sea Devil, FASFLO), buoys (Rolyan, Jim Buoy, Sealite, Curd), solar marine lanterns, diesel fuel trailers, nurse tank trailers, and accessories (anchor systems, pipe floats, boom reels, hardware). The company also offers custom fabrication services using RF welding technology for specialized containment solutions. Products serve marine construction, dredging, oil spill response, environmental remediation, aquaculture, and industrial safety applications.
