How do you attach a snap hook to a type 3 turbidity barrier?
Thank you for contacting us! Attaching a snap hook to a Type 3 Turbidity Curtain is a pretty easy process when performed correctly. The first thing you will want to do is make sure that your turbidity barrier has been placed in the correct place along the shoreline of your work site. When placing the silt curtain, you will want each bundle to be about fifteen to twenty inches (15"-20") apart. After they have have been placed in their proper positions, cut or untie the straps on each bundle.
Next you will want to look at the bottom end of your turbidity curtain. Here you should find a chain ballast that has been secured to a triangular plate. On each section of your barrier you should find a heavy duty snap hook on one end and a steel ring on the other end. After these have been located, all you will need to do is attach the snap hook on one section to the ring on the adjacent section. You can repeat this until all the sections have been connected.
