Turbidity Curtains & Silt Curtains
Turbidity curtains, also known as Silt Curtains or Silt Barriers, are used to control the spread of suspended sediments in water during construction, dredging and other marine activities. Their primary application is to protect aquatic ecosystems by preventing sediment contamination in surrounding waters.
Selecting a Turbidity curtain
Selecting the right turbidity curtain depends on project conditions such as water flow, depth, and duration. For calm waters and short-term use, lightweight curtains are ideal, while heavy-duty or impermeable curtains are better suited for strong currents, deep water, or long-term projects. Consider regulatory requirements, site-specific challenges, and the type of sediment or debris to ensure effective containment. Always consult with an expert to match the curtain’s design to your project’s needs.

Heavy Duty
Heavy-duty turbidity curtains are designed for demanding conditions, offering robust containment and durability in high-flow, deep-water, or long-term projects.
Permeable/Impermeable
Permeable curtains allow water to flow through while trapping sediment, ideal for managing turbidity without disrupting currents. Impermeable curtains block water flow completely, containing debris, pollutants, or contaminants in controlled areas.
