Model Type 2 -Silt Barrier Turbidity Curtains

The rugged yet economical turbidity curtain designs make them a contractors project favorite for moving water <1.5 knots and 36” Wave swells.

Granite Type II Silt Curtain is ideal for medium workloads and can be stored easily on the deck of a vessel for repeat use. The main function of this silt screen is to control the dispersion of suspended silt and sediment and improve settling times (Stokes Law). What this achieves then, is protection of vital aquatic habitat like sea grass beds, aquaculture facilities and spawning areas.

This rapid settling of sediment in a confined zone allows marine contractors to stay within Federal and State Clean Water Act and NPDES phase II regulations, avoids fines and get the project completed quickly.
