A turbidity curtain, also commonly referred to as a turbidity barrier, silt barrier or a silt curtain, is used to contain turbidity (sediment and silt) that is stirred up by construction activities taking place in or near bodies of water, dredging operations and rainwater runoff.

A silt barrier is a land or water based product designed to contain silt during construction, dredging, or marine repair projects. For water areas, Triton floating silt barriers (also known as silt curtains, silt booms, or turbidity curtains) surround and contain suspended silt …

Imagine a floating barrier, silently protecting a delicate underwater ecosystem from a cloud of murky sediment. That’s the essential role of a turbidity curtain, also known as a silt curtain or barrier. In essence, it’s a temporary wall deployed in water bodies to control the movement of suspended particles like soil, clay, and debris.

A turbidity curtain is an effective solution at construction sites near waterways that inevitably suffer from erosion, turbidity and unwanted silt build-up. Also known as silt curtains, the turbidity curtains by Titan are a floating vinyl barrier featuring a heavy duty float and ballast weight chain system that suspends the silt curtain in the ...

Silt curtains (also known as turbidity curtains, silt barriers, or turbidity barriers) are floating barriers designed to contain and control the movement of silt, sediment, and other suspended particles in water bodies. These barriers are most commonly used in marine, freshwater, and estuarine environments to prevent sediment disturbances from ...

We offer silt curtain models for calm water, moving water, and fast water areas. In order to accommodate all water conditions, our turbidity barriers are made in three standard models: Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 Turbidity Curtains with custom options also available.

Type 2 turbidity curtains are best used to contain silt and turbidity in moving water applications. Type 2 silt barriers are manufactured using high strength fabric with heavy duty tension members, along with aluminum stress plates that the bottom skirt corners.

Turbidity barriers, also known in the industry as floating curtains, silt barriers, or silt curtains, are floating barriers designed to contain and control the dispersion of floating silt or turbidity in water (how it works). GEI Works manufactures turbidity barriers for containing silt, including: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Economy, Contractor ...

Curtain Floating Barriers are designed to control the settling of solids (silt) suspended in water by providing a controlled area of containment. This condition of suspension (turbidity) is usually created by disrupting natural conditions through construction or dredging in …
