FAQS

Ecocoast provides a complete suite of sediment-control solutions to protect marine environments during construction. These include:

● Engineering services – Such as sediment transport modelling and hydrodynamic analysis to support environmentally sound project design.
● Silt curtains – Deployed to contain suspended sediments and prevent their spread into surrounding waters.
● Marineforce software – Used to engineer silt curtain performance based on site-specific conditions like waves, currents and sediment behavior.
● Turbidity monitoring services – A recent addition, offering real-time data to verify compliance and environmental protection.
● Marine services – Including installation, inspection and maintenance of silt curtains and other marine protection systems.

These integrated offerings help reduce risk, ensure regulatory compliance and protect sensitive ecosystems during marine and coastal construction.

Ecocoast offers comprehensive engineering support as part of its sediment-control solutions. This includes site-specific design, modelling and performance optimization using tools like Marineforce software. Services cover everything from anchor design and sediment transport modelling to risk assessments and method statements, ensuring the system is effective, compliant and tailored to local conditions.

Post‑installation services include:
● Supervision, monitoring and routine maintenance
● Equipment rentals (e.g., turbidity monitoring instruments, workboats)
● On-site repairs via a mobile workshop to minimize downtime
● Barrier relocation when project footprints change
● Final removal, storage or recycling of barriers at project close‑out

Turbidity monitoring continuously measures water clarity in real time to detect sediment plumes as they form during marine construction. Using sensors, Ecocoast measures and logs turbidity levels continuously. This allows early intervention if thresholds are exceeded, helps demonstrate compliance with environmental regulations, and protects sensitive marine habitats from harmful sedimentation.

Ecocoast deploys smart water-quality monitoring buoys equipped to measure key parameters like turbidity and dissolved oxygen. Built for long-term marine use with minimal maintenance, these buoys transmit real-time data directly to shore-based systems. This enables continuous environmental monitoring, reduces the need for manual sampling, and ensures reliable data collection, even during adverse weather conditions.

Yes. Ecocoast provides full lifecycle support for sediment-control barriers, including relocation and removal services. As marine construction zones shift, we can move silt curtains or containment booms to new areas needing protection. At project completion, we offer removal services with options for storage, reuse or environmentally responsible recycling, ensuring flexibility and sustainability throughout the project.

FAQS

The Ecobarrier Silt Curtain Green is different from conventional silt curtains because it is the world’s first foam-free silt curtain, uses up to 80% fewer raw materials, and is fully recyclable at the end of its lifecycle. These features make it significantly more sustainable and environmentally friendly compared to traditional silt curtains, which typically use more raw materials and non-recyclable components.

The Ecobarrier Silt Curtain Green is suitable for projects where sustainability is a priority. It is designed for those seeking high performance while reducing their carbon footprint.

This silt curtain is ideal for projects in calm or sheltered water conditions, where controlling sediment and turbidity is essential to protect aquatic environments and comply with regulations. Typical applications include inshore or nearshore works, such as marine construction, shoreline development or environmental restoration, where tidal flows are medium to strong (< 1.5m/s) and waves are moderate.

The Ecobarrier Silt Curtain Green offers cost benefits through material efficiency, reduced waste management expenses, greater durability and long-term savings on replacements and downtime.

Yes, the Ecobarrier Silt Curtain Green is fully recyclable at the end of its lifecycle. Its EPS-free design makes sure that all components can be processed through recycling systems, aligning with environmental regulations and reducing landfill contributions.

The EPS-free design reduces environmental impact by eliminating expanded polystyrene, which often breaks down into polluting fragments, and by using up to 80% fewer raw materials. This fully recyclable design lowers resource consumption and waste, making it a more environmentally responsible solution than traditional silt curtains.

The Ecobarrier Silt Curtain Green can be assembled and deployed much faster than conventional silt curtains, thanks to features like Quick-Connect Panels and Rapid Assembly Float Pockets. These innovations allow setup time to be reduced by up to 70%, meaning the curtain can be installed and ready for use significantly more quickly, allowing projects to proceed with minimal delays and less time spent on-site.

The Ecocoast Green Concept tick of approval is a mark that signifies a product has met Ecocoast’s higher standard for sustainability. This approval is awarded to products like the Ecobarrier Silt Curtain Green that demonstrate a genuine commitment to environmental responsibility by using significantly fewer raw materials, being fully recyclable, and eliminating environmentally harmful components such as expanded polystyrene. The tick indicates that the product not only delivers high performance and cost-efficiency but also actively supports environmental protection and helps companies meet strict sustainability targets and regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Type V Ecobarrier Silt Curtain (ESC-750) is widely considered the strongest marine barrier globally. Unlike Type III or IV curtains, the Type V was specifically engineered by Ecocoast to withstand the high-energy conditions of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and the North Sea. It is designed specifically using proprietary Marineforce design software to handle extreme wave heights and currents that typically cause generic barriers to fail.

After multiple "Unscheduled Learning Opportunities" (prototype failures), The Ocean Cleanup partnered with Ecocoast in 2017. Ecocoast successfully designed and manufactured a high-strength screen that survived the most rigorous offshore trials in history. This partnership validated the Type V technology as the only solution capable of 100% containment in deep-sea, long-term deployments.

Ecocoast offers a full range of engineered silt curtains, designed for extreme offshore environments. Our barriers can be deployed for long-term or permanent use, and are customized to turbidity mitigation, dredging and coastal protection projects worldwide.

Yes. Our team provides end-to-end solutions, from design and manufacturing to installation, relocation and maintenance of silt curtains for both coastal and offshore projects.
