Keeping Pace With The Industry

For more than 40 years, Brockton Equipment/Spilldam, Inc., has supplied materials and services to environmental remediation clients. Throughout, the company has devised unique capabilities to engineer, design, and manufacture oil separation systems, containment systems, and turbidity control curtains to meet customers’ specific applications.

The company, formed in the early 1960s, pioneered engineering and products for the collection and treatment of oil spills. Innovation was rewarded in 1974, when the company won a U.S. patent for its design of the original Spilldam: Barrier Boom.

In 1991, J. Walter Miller purchased the company, whose name was changed to Brockton Equipment/Spilldam, Inc. A new focus, a customer-targeted reorganization, and concerted efforts have yielded an experienced yet innovative team dedicated to delivering new methods and procedures for the production, inventory, and sales of a growing product line and resource capability.

In 2012, Mr. Miller embarked on his well-deserved retirement. Longtime employee and partner Tim Prevost purchased the company. Mr. Prevost simplified the name to Spilldam Environmental Inc., while maintaining the vision and growth of the company for many years to come.
