FAQS

Silt curtains or turbidity curtains are flexible barriers installed vertically in the water. They are designed to confine and control the spread of suspended particles such as silt and sediment.

The primary purpose of silt curtains is to manage and limit the movement of these fine particles generated by activities such as dredging, marine construction or shoreline protection. By creating a controlled environment, these curtains allow silt and sediment to settle out of the water, reducing turbidity (cloudiness) and helping to maintain water clarity. This is crucial for protecting aquatic ecosystems, preventing contamination, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

Silt curtains work by creating a physical barrier that limits the lateral dispersion of sediments. Suspended in the water column, they allow normal water flow while preventing sediment from spreading into cleaner areas. By containing the sediment within a defined zone, they help to reduce turbidity and ensure that the disturbed material does not negatively affect water quality or nearby ecosystems.

Silt curtains, also known as turbidity curtains, come in several types and specifications, which can vary by region and project requirements.

In the Gulf region, silt curtains follow a Type x model code (eg. Type I, Type II, Type III, Type IV). At first glance, these codes look similar to the USA system, but the curtains themselves are much stronger and could not be more different. Ecocoast was the first to introduce the Type I, II, III, IV coding to the Gulf region. In 2011, silt curtains used to be produced to meet USA DOT specifications.
