Which Floating Silt Barrier is right for me?

When you are looking to control silt in a water body with waves, currents, tides, or moving water, a Type 2 Curtain is recommended. Type 1 Curtain is recommended for water bodies with no current. These floating silt barriers come with the addition of a tension cable that stabilizes and control silt.

Dredging, Remediation, or Long Term Projects

For areas dealing with projects or increased demands (high levels of silt, currents, or waves), the Type 2 and Type 3 Heavy Duty Curtains are the best option. These curtains are made with stronger fabrics, more robust connectors, and higher strength cables to accommodate increased loads, pressure, or site demands.

Available Models:

• Type 2 Silt Barrier HD Curtains
• Type 2 Silt Barrier HD Permeable Curtains
• Type 3 Silt Barrier HD Curtains
• Type 3 Silt Barrier HD Permeable Curtains

Heavy duty (HD) models are designed with a 22 oz. PVC fabric and feature a top universal bulk slide connector. Bulk connectors increase the strength of the connection point and allow for higher currents, waves, or sediment to remain contained.

Permeable Silt Curtains & Silt Boom

Permeable Silt Curtains are used in specific projects where high flows require a permeable fabric option. Permeable curtains feature a geotextile filter panel throughout the depth of the skirt. Models include:

• Type 1 Permeable Silt Curtains
• Type 2 Permeable Silt Curtains
• Type 3 Permeable Silt Curtains

Silt Control on Land- Staked Sediment Barrier

For sediment and silt control in a land-based location, staked silt fencing and barriers are also available to control and contain silt. Often used as a containment perimeter around construction sites or repair areas, these construction fence models are available in three standard models: Economy (50 gram), Contractor
(70 gram), and DOT (100 gram). Each model is also offered as rolls or rolls with pre-attached stakes. Additional models include orange barriers, wire back fencing, and more.
