Turbidity Curtain Installation

Do you have any tips on installing a turbidity curtain? We are starting our project soon, and I would like to be sure that I have as much information as possible. Thank You.

Thanks for contacting us! We'd be happy to provide you with information on turbidity curtain installation. Each section of the barrier is bundled separately when shipped from the factory. The bundles are secured with vinyl straps and either placed on pallets, boxed or directly in on to a commercial truck or container. The skirt of the silt barrier is reefed or furled to the flotation with light twine. Try to find an adequate space for the silt curtains to untie or cut the vinyl bundle straps. Medium and heavy duty barriers require you to attach the snap hook to the steel ring. Once this is done, you can begin our recommended 3 Step Procedure.

• STEP 1: Attach the bottom chain of the silt curtain via shackle or snap hook for section one to the bottom chain or ring of section 2.

• STEP 2: Slide together the aluminum extrusion end connectors of your type 2 or 3 turbidity curtain (Skip this step for type 1 silt screens). Insert the toggle pin.

• STEP 3: Use the rope ties or heavy duty zip ties to tie one grommet eye of one silt barrier section to the aligned eye of the mating section. Repeat for entire skirt depth.
