GEI Works - Model Type 2 -Turbidity Curtain for Water with Currents
The Type 2 Turbidity Curtain, also known as a Silt Barrier, is specifically engineered for aquatic environments with moderate movement, such as currents, waves, and tides. Manufactured in the USA, this floating barrier is constructed using high-quality components designed to effectively contain turbidity and displaced materials within a specified zone. Ideal for areas experiencing waves up to two feet and currents reaching 2 knots, the Type 2 Turbidity Barrier is available in both permeable and impermeable options, with material choices of 18 oz and 22 oz. The system incorporates a top tension cable and ASTM universal slide connectors, ensuring robust and adaptable installation. Through various anchoring options, the curtain provides reliable, adjustable containment solutions tailored to dynamic water conditions.
