EPA Has Asked For Rough Price For Silt Curtain

(Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA)

Hi, I am working on a project. The EPA has asked if I can give them a rough price for some silt curtain it will be installed in 20 feet of water in a river. They require a type 2 silt curtain. I will be installing piles around the area for the curtain to attach to. I was going to drive them every 100 feet and put an anchor in between them, will that be OK?

Thank you for asking. We have two different styles available, type 2 medium duty and type 2 heavy duty turbidity barrier. In regard to your anchoring question: Anchoring is depending on water flow and tidal. If you have calm water flow and no tidal, 100 feet is Ok. In case you have fast water flow from two directions (current, waves) and tidal changes, we recommend dual anchors or anchoring every 50 feet. Don't hesitate to call in with any questions you may have. You can reach our Silt Barriers tech team at (+1) 772-646-0597.
