Turbidity Barriers

Silt Barrier, Silt Curtain, Floating Silt Curtain,
Silt Protector

Turbidity Barriers, Turbidity Curtains, Silt Barrier, and Silt Curtain are designed specifically to contain and control the dispersion of turbidity and silt in a water body related to marine construction, pile driving, site work (stormwater sheetflow) and dredging activities. Turbidity or suspended solids in water have far reaching effects on our favorite fishing hole, diving reef or swimming area. Silt Curtains or silt protectors minimize these impacts by improving settling times and settling suspended solids in a defined area well away from natural resources.
