Turbidity Curtains Used In An Environmental Remediation Project
by Rick
(Pennsylvania, USA)
Hi, I am looking for a turbidity curtain to use in an environmental remediation project. It would be located in a stream with low flow that is 30 feet at its widest and would be there for 2 months at a maximum.
I am having a hard time finding anything made for shallow streams that isn't 50 - 100 feet long.
I need something about 3 - 4 feet high as we have designed for the two year flood but the maximum water depth is only a few inches, around 8 - 12 inch. The product has to trap water-borne particulates to prevent downstream sedimentation of the river.
Do you have a product that stretches into the upland area and can be secured there? Are all of your products designed to be secured within the stream channel? Your answer would help me determine the best lengths. Thanks.
Thanks for asking. We currently make 50 and 100 feet sections as well. But we can, of course, manufacture a 30 feet section per your spec only. For your specific situation, we would recommend a trashmesh log and debris boom.
The trashmesh log and debris boom is a high impact, foam filled molded, bolt-on floats boom, perfect for inland, bays, harbors, power plants, intakes, dams, and marinas. With this debris boom, you can collect logs and debris. It also serves port security and is made for long term use.
