Type 3 Silt Barrier
This Tough Guy® type 3 silt barrier is designed to provide you with sediment control for rough and fast moving water conditions.
This curtain can be used in streams, lakes, tidal areas, and inter-coastal waterways when water velocity is above five feet per second.
If you have questions your water conditions or the type 3 curtain silt barrier, please don't hesitate to call us at (+1) 772.646.0597 or toll free at (+1) 888-703-9889 or request a price quote.
In order to provide you with the added support you will need when trying to contain sediment in fast moving waters, 20% of the skirt fabric on this barrier is replaced with filter fabric made of polypropylene. This built-in fabric will still retain sediment, while pressure to the silt barrier will be reduced.
The standard length for this silt curtain is 50 feet, although sizes up to 100 feet are available. Standard depths for these barriers are 3 feet, 5 feet, and 10 feet.
Similar to the Type 2 turbidity barrier, this barrier features the following features:
- Top Flotation Devices (features a steel load cable that runs the length of the curtain)
- Flotation Log that is 8" x 8" x 4".
- Galvanized Steel Chain (sewn into bottom hem)
- Grommet Section Eyes
This silt curtain is available in two versions, type 3.dot and type 3.m.
Type 3.dot: If you need a curtain that will meet federal or state requirements, the type 3 DOT version will work best. These barriers are designed specifically to meet DOT regulations
Type 3.m: If you don't need to meet DOT requirements, the type3.m version is the economy model. These barriers may meet certain state's specifications, but requirements should be checked.
