Floating Booms and Barriers

Silt curtains (also sometimes referred to as turbidity curtains) are an essential component of environmental protection for marine and freshwater construction sites. They serve to contain suspended sediment (silt) within a designated area, preventing it from impacting surrounding ecosystems. While effective in many conditions, the performance of deeper silt curtains is significantly influenced by tidal

If you’re managing in-water construction, shoreline stabilization, dredging, or bridge repair, you’ve likely worked with floating silt curtains (also called turbidity curtains or sediment curtains). They’re essential for staying compliant with environmental regulations and keeping suspended sediments from spreading into surrounding water bodies. One of the most common deployment mistakes? Going too deep. Let’s set

The Unseen Forces Shaping Sediment Control Silt curtains, also known as turbidity curtains or sediment barriers, are critical tools in aquatic environmental management. These partially-floating, partially-submerged, semi-permeable barriers are meticulously designed to contain and control the spread of suspended sediment, silt, and other particulate pollution within water bodies. Their deployment is essential in various marine

When planning for sediment control in marine or freshwater construction zones, one of the most common questions contractors and environmental engineers ask is: “How much silt curtain do I need?” The answer goes beyond just the length of the curtain needed to span the site. To ensure effective turbidity control and compliance with environmental regulations,
