Silt curtains, also known as turbidity curtains, silt barriers or turbidity barriers, are vertical barriers deployed in water bodies during activities like marine construction, dredging or land reclamation. These barriers float on the water’s surface and extend downward to form a temporary wall. Their primary purpose is to contain fine particles like sediment and silt within a specific area, allowing them to settle rather than dispersing and clouding the surrounding water.
By containing suspended particles, these floating barriers help protect the environment from the adverse impacts of marine activities, thereby reducing the environmental footprint. Additionally, silt curtains ensure compliance with environmental regulations while supporting the efficient continuation of operations. Engineering and marine services, including water quality monitoring, are available if needed. Get in touch to learn how we can support your next project.
Introducing Ecobarrier Silt Curtains for rapid assembly and improved silt and sediment containment.
Having a contracting background, we understand your on-site requirements. Our latest design innovation features fully integrated Quick Connect ‘No-Gap’ panels, ensuring rapid assembly and enhanced containment capabilities. Rigorous calculations were performed to guarantee the Ecobarrier Silt Curtains meet and even exceed performance specifications.
Marineforce, our proprietary force calculator is available as a service, to accurately calculate forces on silt curtains.
