Traditionally, when a spill reached a ditch or stream, responders often needed to build a traditional underflow dam. Typically this consisted of a lot of sandbags and dirt, pipes, and significant manpower. In addition, the time it would take to construct meant that crews had to get far enough ahead of the spill to have enough time to build the dam before the spill spread further downstream.

The Water-Gate Instant Underflow Dam solves all of these problems and gives responders a simple and effective tool to rapidly dam up streams, small rivers, and ditches.

Sandbags vs oil spill dam

One 28” H by 25’ L Water-Gate Underflow Dam is the equivalent of 550 sandbags.

Flexible Oil Spill Dam

Flexible material adapts to contours and obstacles in most stream bottoms.

Lightweight Oil Spill Dam

Weighs less than 50 pounds, can be carried by a single person and deployed in minutes.

Easy to use Instant Underflow Dam

Tear down is a breeze and it can be washed and reused multiple times.

Husky Pan Testimonial

When Troy Beaver told me that a rolled-up piece of yellow plastic could prevent an oil spill from spreading down a stream, I was skeptical at best. But, having the Water-Gate Instant Underflow Dam in our arsenal allowed us to show up on-site, assess the impact, and stop the flow of oil downstream within 10 minutes.
