Turbidity Barriers, also known in the industry as turbidity curtains, silt barriers, or silt curtains, are floating barriers designed specifically to contain and control the dispersion of floating turbidity or silt in a water body. Often implemented in areas with marine construction, pile driving, site work (stormwater sheet flow) or dredging activities, these barrier work to keep sites in compliance for the duration of their project. Turbidity curtains are available in three standard types for different water conditions and project needs. Our floating Turbidity Curtains are designed to effectively work in a variety of different locations and are available in many different styles to help meet your needs. Some of the most common locations and applications where these have been used includes the following: Dredging Operations Marine Construction Jobs Pile Cleaning and Extraction Roadside Construction Work Silt Containment Areas Restoration Projects

The Type 1 Silt and Turbidity Curtains are designed specifically for silt and turbidity control in calm waters such as swales, canals, small ponds, lakes and harbors. Silt barriers are built in sections that are either 50 or 100 feet in length and can built in depths to meet the specifications for your location.

Type II Silt & Turbidity Curtains are specifically designed for in-water control of silt and turbidity in moving water locations, such as around dredging activities, pile driving, rip-rap installation, lition work, and more. The robust and reliable design of the turbidity curtain makes them a contractor project favorite for moving water conditions up to 1.5 knots and wave swells up to 36 inches.

Type III Silt and Turbidity Curtains are a robust floating barrier designed specifically for fast moving water conditions. Often used in demanding water conditions, such as rivers, inter-coastal waterways, bays, harbors and long-term projects, these silt curtains are the perfect way to keep turbidity and silt contained in tough areas. The Type 3 turbidity curtain is equipped for use in conditions where there are rough waves, fast moving waters or increased tidal conditions. Use with these barriers may includes silt control during dredging activities, lition projects and high flow construction.
