The rugged yet economical turbidity curtain designs make them a contractors project favorite for moving water <1.5 knots and 36” Wave swells.
Granite Type II Silt Curtain is ideal for medium workloads and can be stored easily on the deck of a vessel for repeat use. The main function of this silt screen is to control the dispersion of suspended silt and sediment and improve settling times (Stokes Law). What this achieves then, is protection of vital aquatic habitat like sea grass beds, aquaculture facilities and spawning areas.
This rapid settling of sediment in a confined zone allows marine contractors to stay within Federal and State Clean Water Act and NPDES phase II regulations, avoids fines and get the project completed quickly.
Granite Environmental,Inc. is dedicated to developing innovative turbidity curtain solutions that provide superior performance and achieve the desired results for our customers. We work closely with our client team to design a deployment layout taking into consideration water conditions, project progress, budget and water quality goals.
In order to provide an accurate assessment for our clients we normally will request the following information:
• site conditions
• water velocity
• waves (height, frequency, etc)
• wind speed and direction
• tides
• soil type (contaminated?)
• project duration
• site specific requirements and project specifications
In addition if the project is environmental remediation, like pcb (heavy metals) removal or brownfields (coal tar) related we may require a site survey/walk to get a good understanding of the site specific requirements.
Our goal is to work with our clients to develop the best solution for their specific project and help them come in under budget and on time.
