Incorporating A Turbidity Barrier For New Boat Launch Construction
Question: I am looking for a turbidity barrier for new boat launch. I need to incorporate a turbidity barrier while construction a new boat launch is taking place. We will be demolishing the old boat launch. The site is a lake that is normally fairly calm. However, wave heights up to 3 feet could occur.

Answer:
Thanks for your inquiry. I would be happy to assist you in this. Choosing the right turbidity barrier is highly dependent upon the water type in which it is installed.
As you are installing it in a lake with possible 3 foot waves, we recommend using a floating Type II Silt Barrier. It is specifically designed for in-water control of silt and turbidity around dredging activities, pile driving rip-rap installation, demolition work, etc.
The Type II turbidity barrier is the medium-level type used for turbidity and silt control. These barriers are designed for moving water conditions such as areas with a current or moderate waves.
Standard barrier sizes (PDF) that we have in stock are 100' and 50' long sections x 5' wide. We can manufacture other sizes and styles by request.
Silt Barrier Options
The type 2 silt barrier has been a common choice for containment around boat launches and boat ramps. The construction of these types of ramps often displaces several materials around the area. We have seen customers install barriers directly around the ramp or construction area. This helps them keep materials fully within the construction area.
A turbidity barrier for new boat launch may be installed around a location through the use of multiple anchors. Anchoring systems can be provided for an additional cost to help keep your barrier in its designate shape or containment area.
