TYPE 1 Silt Barriers
GEI Works’ Type 1 Contractor and DOT Turbidity Curtain provide a practical solution for containing silt and other displaced particles in a confined zone for short-term projects. Using our anchoring system and other accessories, the curtain is kept securely in place until the job is finished. This light duty turbidity barrier is best suited for calm water locations with no waves and low silt levels. Designed for depths between 3 and 10ft, the Type 1 Turbidity curtain is an excellent fit for ponds, shallow lakes, swales, and creeks with calm water.

Barge Silt Curtains
The Barge Silt Curtain is a localized turbidity control system designed to keep displaced sediment and solids contained during barge dredging operations. Made from impermeable fabric material, curtains are installed along the side of the barge to keep sediment contained to a central area. This allows sediment to fully settle before leaving the dredging location.

PERMEABLE SILT CURTAINS
Triton permeable silt curtains are specifically designed for silt and turbidity control in areas with fast water, waves, or demanding conditions. Permeable turbidity curtains (also known as silt curtain or silt barriers) feature a geotextile filter skirt or window to allow faster water flow through the barrier while still containing silt and turbid water. This reduces the pressure put on the silt screen by allowing water to continue flowing through the curtain while filtering silt and giving it time to settle. All Triton silt barriers are made in the USA.
