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.

Type 1

Type 1 DOT and Contractor Turbidity curtains are suitable for use in protected waters where the effects of wind, waves and current are minimal.

Type 2

Type 2 Turbidity curtains are ideal for silt and sediment control during dredging and marine construction in areas with mild current, wind and wave activity.

Type 3

Type 3 Turbidity Curtains combine high strength fabric and heavy-duty tension members that are ideal for moderate current, wind and wave activity.

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.

Department of Transportation (DOT)
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.
