Turbidity Curtain For Dredging Operation

by Tom
(Richmond, Virginia)

We are looking at a dredging operation in southern Maryland and need to know the type of turbidity curtain we will need. It is a back basin off of a flowing river. The river has waves in windy conditions. The waves are less than 2 feet and I do not know the flow rate. What determines the depth of the curtain? What are the standard sizes that are available?

Thank you for asking. Our Granite Environmental tech team would recommend a type 2 turbidity curtain. We offer two different styles, type 2 DOT (medium duty) and heavy duty. We can provide you a price quote for both types. Normally, the project specs provide information in regard to the depth of the turbidity skirt. In general, the turbidity curtain shouldn't touch the water body bottom (1 foot above the water body bottom) so that the curtain still can move and doesn't get stuck. Standard turbidity curtain sizes are 50' x 5' and 100' x 5'. Please email further project information to granite@erosionpollution.com or contact our Granite Environmental tech team at (+1) 772-646-0597.
