We manufacture DOT Compliant Type 1, 2 and 3 (Light, Medium and Heavy Duty) Floating Turbidity Barriers, also known as Silt Curtains for the marine construction industry.

Marine accessories are available for GEI Works’ US manufactured floating boom or barrier – including aquatic plant, oil, debris and permanent boom, and turbidity curtain. With options to help tow, identify, anchor or adjust your boom, these accessories will help protect and secure your investment. Each accessory is built from components that are equipped to handle extended use in water conditions.

Tidal Compensator

Tidal Compensators are designed to help floating barriers self-adjust with changing water tides. The Tidal Compensator attaches on one connector end of the barrier and on the other end to a structure such as a dock. As the water level rises or recedes, the side floats self-adjust and the connector moves up and down an I-beam, raising and lowering the floating barrier system.

Anchoring Kits

Anchoring and Anchor Kits are one of the most important accessories for sites dealing with moving currents, waves, tides, or other site factors. Having the right anchor pattern, installation design, and anchors can significantly influence, reduce and redistribute loads placed on your barrier. Anchoring floating barrier systems correctly should be discussed in detail with your representative whether you select GEI products or utilize your own.

Marker Lights

Marker lights are a great way to increase the visibility of a barrier in any given location. Lights include a buoy, light, and pole that allow the light to float in the water next to the boom.

Towing Bridle

The Tow Bridle is one of many floating boom accessories designed to help with the installation and deployment of a floating boom. Equipped to help safely tow the curtain out into position, these bridles feature a small flotation device and two attachment points to help distribute weight evenly across the boom.

Buoys

Buoys, light buoys, and navigational aids are used to demarcate turbidity curtains while dredging, marking oil containment boom during oil spill recovery, or simply on a debris barrier where marine traffic is present. Buoys are also used as part of an anchoring system to help anchor the barrier without placing additional strain on the bottom of the curtain. Contact us for types and specifications for your site.

Reefing Lines

Reefing lines are primarily designed for turbidity curtains and allow customers to adjust the depth of the barrier depending on tides and contours. Adjusting lines are ideal for areas with varying water depths. Reefing lines must be installed during the initial construction phase.
