Sediment Curtain and Turbidity Curtain for Sale
Turbidity curtains, also known as sediment curtains or silt curtains, help manage and contain suspended sediment in water. They create a physical barrier that prevents silt and sediment from spreading through lakes, rivers, streams, and coastal areas during construction, dredging, or environmental projects. Managing turbidity is essential for protecting aquatic habitats and staying in compliance with local and federal water quality regulations. Uncontrolled sediment can harm ecosystems, increase erosion, and delay project timelines. We offer a range of turbidity curtain options to match different project needs and site conditions below.
Turbidity Barriers Applications
Choosing the right turbidity curtain depends on your project location, site conditions, and regulatory requirements. Factors to consider include wave height and frequency, water speed, current strength, and project duration. Matching the curtain type to your environment ensures effective sediment control and compliance with local and federal guidelines.
Turbidity curtains are a key part of stormwater best management practices (BMPs) on construction sites and in water-based work zones. Our floating turbidity barriers are designed to meet or exceed US Department of Transportation (DOT) standards and align with Florida DOT Erosion and Sediment Control guidelines.
Common applications include:
- Marine construction and shoreline work
- Dredging operations
- Bridge and pier construction
- Pipeline installation
- Wetland restoration
- Dam and levee projects
- Port and harbor maintenance
- Stormwater runoff control
Turbidity Curtain for Sale : Type 1, 2, and 3
Our product selection of turbidity curtain for sale includes three main types of curtain that apply to a wide variety of situations and work area requirements. Type 1 turbidity curtains are made specifically for calm waters where wave height is minimal and there is no current. We also carry type 2 turbidity curtains for moving water conditions where wave height and current are moderate and water conditions are not calm but not overtly fast. Type 3 turbidity curtains are made specifically for faster, open water conditions that require heavy duty support for turbidity control.
