Is a Type 2 Turbidity Curtain for Rivers?

I am working on a dredging project in a river with a slight waves. Would a type 2 turbidity curtain be right for this kind of location?

Thank you for contacting us! The type two turbidity curtain is effective for use in places such as rivers, intercoastal waterways and harbors. In general, it is meant to be used in moving water. Since you have mentioned that your river has waves, you will need to determine the how fast the water is moving and the size of the wave swells. The type two silt barrier is designed to be used in water conditions that are less than 1.5 knots and have wave swells that are a maximum of 36 inches. If your water conditions are more rough than these, we would recommend considering use of a type three barrier instead.

These curtains are made in both a heavy-duty style and medium/economy style. Some things you might considering when choosing between these is water speed, wind speed and direction, soil type, and how long you will need to use this curtain for your project.
