Case History #1
JSP Oil Booms prove most effective in containing Alaska oil spill.
The call came in at midnight on March 30, 1989, during the Exxon Valdez oil spill. It was the city manager of Seward, Alaska, on Resurrection Bay. He said he had heard of JPS' reputation for results. He asked if the company had any of its Oil Booms in stock, and could it be shipped immediately, along with an installation training crew. The answer was "Yes." Within 24 hours, JPS had 20,000 feet of 36' Oil Boom on site, and a highly skilled supervisor who quickly trained crews to deploy the boom.After two weeks, the Seward official was so grateful for the result that he issued a proclamation to JPS for helping "to protect the surrounding key salmon-producing streams from oil."
