TURBIDITY CURTAIN INFO

Turbidity curtains, or silt curtains, are vital for marine construction and dredging projects, designed to control sediment and turbidity in water bodies like rivers, lakes, and oceans. Made from heavy-duty fabrics, these curtains create a physical barrier that prevents sediment from spreading, reducing environmental impact. They are essential in protecting the local ecosystem by keeping sediment particles contained, even in currents and tides.

Available in various sizes and configurations, turbidity curtains can be anchored to the sea floor, suspended from buoys, or attached to floating vessels. Typically constructed from impermeable materials like PVC-coated polyester or polyurethane, they can be customized to fit specific project needs. Often used alongside other sediment control measures, turbidity curtains are key tools for minimizing the impact of construction and dredging on marine life.
