Services      Equipment Testing

CRI has evaluated skimmers for open water, harbour conditions and ice infestations. Shore-sealing and offshore booms have also been assessed in the field. Sorbents have been investigated in laboratory studies. Our equipment and materials testing work is conducted with procurement and practical use in mind.

Test results include not only numerical data but also operational aspects important to end-users, e.g., health and safety, durability, and deployment/retrieval.  As a result of testing and using response equipment, we can recommend best practicable technologies to our clients.  We can also optimize operations during actual spills.
