A river oil spill response depends on trained people, shared procedures and fast decisions as much as on equipment. Teams from different organizations have to work together on a river, where the current and the bank make containment harder.
The yellow boom (1) is deployed from the bank. A boat with the crew (2) supports the work on the water, and the teams (3) work from the riverbank.

Teams rehearsed containment, absorbent deployment and product recovery with FoamFlex systems and ready-to-use spill kits.
Operators deployed a containment boom on the river from the bank, with a boat supporting the crew on the water.
Absorbent materials and ready-to-use kits were laid out on the bank and used to rehearse selective hydrocarbon recovery and the handling of contaminated material.
Operators in protective suits worked through realistic intervention sequences together, checking response times, communication procedures and coordination.
The exercise tested response times and communication procedures. Teams practiced containment, deployment and product recovery.
The joint drill improved coordination among the different organizations. Ready-to-use materials cut intervention time during the exercise.
Practical sessions gave operators more confidence and familiarity with field work.
Products used in this intervention: Carpet with Boom coupling, Vertical Barrier – Modular FoamFlex Barrier system, Manual Wringer FF, FoamFlex Carpet 2.0.
Modular vertical barrier system with FoamFlex hook-on: effectively absorbs and contains oils and hydrocarbons, even in wave or turbulence conditions.
Manual wringer for FoamFlex: fast reuse, no electricity needed, efficient oil recovery.
Absorbent mat with velcro on the long side to hook it onto the boom, velcro on both short sides to…
Reusable absorbent carpet with velcro and handles, ideal for all types of spills and compatible with FF-WRING.
A field exercise lets teams test containment, deployment and coordination in realistic conditions before a real emergency. Response quality depends on trained people, shared procedures and fast decisions as much as on equipment.
At Sondrio they deployed a boom from the bank with a boat in support, laid out absorbent materials, recovered the product and handled contaminated material. They also checked response times and communication.
Ready-to-use FoamFlex kits cut intervention time during the Sondrio exercise because the materials are already organized for deployment. They also let operators learn the equipment they would use in a real spill.
