Innovative Net Systems

While no one was looking for the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the hard fact is  "IT HAPPENED!"

Our shop has years of experience in building nets, traps, barrier nets, aviary nets and capture nets. Some or all of these design and gears could be used to hold injured birds, marine or land animals.

Some barrier nets might keep fish from entering a certain polluted area or the seines may herd fish and other creatures out of harms way.
Our small scale aviary nets may act as containment pens for contaminated birds.

We have delivered and maintained  bird containment systems that covered the size of a football field x 16' high ( Gainesville, Florida USFWS ).

We can build rocket nets that are less affected by oil and sludge than the nylon nets presently in use.

We have access to netting materials that are smaller  and stronger in diameter so they will 'cut through' oil quicker and capture the target animals with minimum stress.

We have access to wire pens that can hold larger mammals.

......and we have the expertise in net design to create something completely new or to your specs...... just let us know.


We are NOT  experts in the  OIL FIELD disaster business.  But we are experts in designing  and building  gears for outside-the-box situations.....and this certainly fits THAT description.


It doesn't take much to contact us for a discussion on this. INS is not a very big shop but we carry a very big name in designing and fabricating those gears that are outside the norm......and THIS is one of those times where off-the-shelf gears just might NOT work.

• It can deploy with a single towline from any size boat from 14’ to 200’ and 20hp to 1500hp.
• 
  
• It works with a  2 Meter X 2” diameter beam..... that means  no  trawl  doors  to operate.
• 
  
• It gets down easily  to 1 Fathom  or 500 Fathoms of water and gives you a 2 Meter wide sample of just about any marine organism  5mm and larger ,  lying on the seabed.
• 
  
• It is made completely with HDPE and vinyl-type material which makes it impervious to oil globs, sheen, contaminated vegetation and most chemicals and acids.
• 
  
•  NO  SOGGY,  OIL  SOAKED  NYLON  NETS!  The CSN sheds most  petroleum buildup and sludge.They are also easier to pressure wash and clean. NO NET COATING REQUIRED ....EVER!
• 
  
• It’s a simple, gear that can be hand deployed and retrieved in shallow water  and with a light winch in deeper water.
• 
  
• CSN Inland model ( 1- 10 fathoms)  +/- 33 lbs.  
• 
  
• CSN Offshore model (10-50 fathoms) +/- 45 lbs.
• 
  
• CSN Extreme Offshore model (50-500 fathoms) +/-60 lbs.
• 
  
• Priced: INL$675,  OS $775,  EOS $985 .
• 
  
•  2 Meters wide, all bridles and hardware...ready to go, out of the box ......just snap it to your towline and toss it in!
• 
  
• Its not perfect and it’s not pretty, but it’ll let you see very  quickly, what is down there.
• 
  
• . . . . . and its  made in the USA!
  

INS does DEEP.....VERY DEEP.  When its going to come time to find out what is on the bottom of the G.O.M., we are going to have the simple and well tested gear for your agency and crew to do just that.

Call us. Don't wast time with those "Fred and Barney" gears from the Ol' Days.
You want a sample? You want data?  Our gear has a better chance of doing it then most of what's out there  on Government and State vessels combined.
