Your Specialist for Filtration,
Silt and Turbidity Control
The Silt Barrier, also known as the turbidity curtain, silt curtain, and silt protector, is designed specifically to prevent water pollution during marine operations. These barriers contain and control the dispersion of turbidity and silt (TSS and NTU) in a water body engaged in marine construction, dredging or environmental remediation activities.
Turbidity Curtain and Silt Barrier Types
 |
 |
 |
| Type 1 Turbidity Curtain |
Type 2 Turbidity Curtain |
Type 3 Turbidity Curtain |
Turbidity barriers include a Type 1, 2 and 3 model depending on your water conditions. In addition to these barriers, we also offer several containment barriers and best management practices (BMPs) to help with the containment of debris and oil, as well as the filtering of silt and sediment from stormwater.
All Containment Barriers

| Debris Booms | Oil Containment Booms | Silt/Turbidity Curtains |
Dewatering, Silt Filtration, and BMP Products

| Dewatering Products | Stormwater BMPs | Silt Fence |
Dewatering bags and stormwater bmps help to further control silt and turbidity through their placement inside storm drains (BMP's), along pond dredging areas (dewatering bags) or around a construction site
Silt filtration bags are a favorite for dredging operations. As water is pumped into these bags, sediment and silt are retained to allow for clean water to flow out of the bag.
Barriers and Containment Regulations
The enforcement of the Clean Water Act (1998) and NPDES phase II (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) Regulations make protecting water resources a high priority. Federal and State regulators enforce these rules.
These products are designed to provide cost effective ways to avoid shutdowns or work stoppages. Products work to control turbidity, silt, and oil at the source, preventing further spreading of pollution. The correct use of these products will help keep your project in compliance and on track!
