Learn More about the Barge Turbidity Barrier

This Barge Turbidity Barrier is designed to provide a localized area of turbidity control. While our standard silt barrier keep turbidity contained to large areas, these curtains minimize the area to limit disturbance to surrounding areas.

The lowering and furling of the dredge barrier can be facilitated by davits and mechanical winches. Watch the Barge Curtain YouTube Video.

To control the silt barriers skirt billow in current we have control pipes that can be inserted against the side of the barge to ensure the work area does not get affected.
