Purpose: Reason for writing the paper is to present the project of design and industrialization of floating containment boom made of PVC material, which was successfully finished in 2010. This project was supported by Savatech d.o.o. Kranj. Design/methodology/approach: Research methodology of floating containment boom made of PVC has focused on a comprehensive analysis of this type of booms, which are used around the world. Based on this knowledge and over 25 years of experiences with rubber booms, a new type of PVC boom was developed. Findings: The result of the project was the design and implementation of a new type of floating containment boom. The new boom is light weight, highly stable with no inflation system required. Boom has small volume when packed for transport and is simple and quick to deploy. It is made of UV and oil resistant material. Practical implications: The new type of oil boom was tested in clean water and is available for application in oil spill accidents. Also calculations for salt water were made. Boom is suitable for closed waters, rivers and streams, harbours, canals, etc. Originality/value: Product of research and development is an original Slovenian PVC floating containment boom marked as Easy Boom.
