Turbidity Barriers, also known as turbidity curtains, silt barriers, and silt curtains in the industry are designed specifically to contain and control the dispersion of floating turbidity and silt in a water body related to marine construction, pile driving, site work (stormwater sheetflow) and dredging activities. Turbidity or suspended solids in water have far reaching effects on our favorite fishing hole, diving reef or swimming area. Silt curtains or silt protectors minimize these impacts by improving settling times and settling suspended solids in a defined area well away from natural resources.

The Type 1 Silt Barrier is designed specifically for silt and turbidity control in calm waters such as swales, canals, small ponds, lakes and harbors.The silt curtain is ideal for use along Roadways for Department of Transportation D.O.T. projects and meet and exceed state requirement.

Type II Silt Barrier is specifically designed for in-water control of silt and turbidity around dredging activities, pile driving rip-rap installation, demolition work, etc.

Type III Silt Barrier is a tough silt curtain which is designed specifically for silt control in rivers, inter-coastal waterways, bays and harbors. These rough water floating silt curtain is ideal for demanding applications whether dredging contaminated sediments or demolishing bridges.

Silt fence is used as a temporary perimeter erosion prevention & control device around sites where there will be a soil disturbance due to construction and land clearing activities.

Our Dredge Barge Silt Curtain is a unique system that allows a turbidity barrier to be mounted to the side of dredging barge providing localized turbidity control. This unique curtain system allows for mechanical clamshell dredging or controlled material placement without the suspended solids concerns.
