A sustainable mooring solution that supports life below water.
We have developed a simple, effective dewatering solution that has proven its effectiveness in various industries. The dewatering containers are incredibly durable and require minimal maintenance thanks to their superior design features.
These data buoys are designed to collect and transmit real-time environmental, oceanographic and meteorological data for environmental protection, regulatory compliance, public health, research and operations.
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.

Applications include:
● Dredging and reclamation operations.
● Marine construction such as bridge building or pier installation.
● Underwater pipeline and cable installation.
● Coastal and shoreline protection projects.
● Environmental protection for projects near sensitive habitats, coral reefs.
Installing silt curtains requires careful consideration of site-specific conditions. The process begins with thorough site assessment to determine optimal positioning. Critical engineering factors include calculating sufficient curtain length, selecting appropriate ballast weights based on current speeds, and ensuring proper anchor spacing.
We have detailed installation manuals available and also offer training, professional supervision, or complete installation services including relocation and removal to ensure optimal performance and regulatory compliance.
Regular maintenance of silt/turbidity curtains is essential to ensure their effectiveness and longevity. This includes routine visual inspections for damage or displacement, checking anchor points and mooring lines, among others. At Ecocoast, we make maintenance even easier by offering a mobile repair team that can quickly address any issues on-site, minimizing downtime and ensuring your project remains compliant and protected.

Using silt/turbidity curtains offers several environmental benefits:
• Prevent sediment and pollutants from spreading into clean water areas, preserving water quality in lakes, waterways and seas.
• Protect sensitive aquatic habitats such as coral reefs, seagrass meadows, mangroves and shellfish beds from the harmful effects of increased turbidity and sedimentation.
• Maintain the well-being and biodiversity of marine ecosystems, ensuring they remain healthy and undisturbed.
• Support compliance with environmental regulations for construction and development projects near water bodies.
• Demonstrate a commitment to sustainable and responsible environmental practices, which can enhance project reputation and meet sustainability reporting requirements.
Our silt curtains can be reused or relocated, reducing waste and supporting broader sustainability goals. We also offer recycling as a service.
Watercraft safety booms are typically used in a variety of aquatic environments where there is a need to protect people, vessels and infrastructure from hazardous areas or to manage water traffic. Common locations include dams, weirs, reservoirs and waterways, where they help prevent boats from entering dangerous zones or restricted areas.
Watercraft safety booms help improve safety in waterways by acting as physical barriers that prevent boats, kayaks and other watercraft from entering hazardous areas such as dams, weirs and spillways, significantly reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. These booms are designed to be highly visible and robust, ensuring that even drifting or disabled vessels are stopped before reaching dangerous zones.
Some of our safety booms also feature floats and ropes that allow people in distress to climb aboard or reach the shore unaided, further enhancing rescue capabilities. By clearly demarcating restricted areas and providing an effective means of keeping both the public and watercraft away from potential hazards, safety booms play a crucial role in creating safer waterways for everyone.
Watercraft safety booms are highly customizable to meet the specific safety requirements and environmental conditions of different waterways. Customization options include the addition of reflective strips, warning signage, access gates, branding and integrated safety features such as grab handles, casualty lifelines and demarcation lighting. Advanced models can also incorporate sensors, alarms and cameras for real-time monitoring and enhanced security.
Yes, you can customize the booms by adding your logo, colors or other branding elements to match your specific needs and represent your brand effectively.
Watercraft safety booms are primarily designed to ensure the safety of people and watercraft by preventing access to hazardous areas. However, they can also help stop large debris, such as tree trunks, from crossing into dangerous zones.
If your primary concern is the management of various types of marine debris and pollution, we offer Debris Booms that are specifically designed for this purpose.
Watercraft safety booms are designed for minimal maintenance, but regular checks are still important to ensure their effectiveness and longevity. Routine maintenance typically involves inspecting the booms for any signs of wear or damage, ensuring all parts and attachments are secure. Overall, maintenance is straightforward and can usually be performed with simple tools, making these booms a practical and low-maintenance safety solution for waterways.
For precise selection and design, we recommended consult our team.We use specialized tools and calculators (such as Boomforce) to analyze your site conditions and recommend the most suitable solution based on your unique scenario.
