What Floating Turbidity Curtain Type Can I Use For Dredging Work In a Canal?

Hi, I am currently starting a dredging project in a canal. What type of floating turbidity curtain can I use?

Thank you for contacting us with your inquiry! The type of turbidity barrier you will need depends on what kind of water conditions you are dealing with.

If you're working in a canal with calm water, you can use our Type 1 silt barrier. These inexpensive curtains are designed for use in protected waterways such as canals, small ponds, and lakes where water has little to no movement. They effectively contain the turbidity surrounding your construction site while also meeting most State US Department of Transportation requirements.

If you're working in conditions where there is more water movement such as wave swells or tides, we would recommend a Type 2 silt barrier. These floating water curtains are a common favorite among contractors because they offer the choice of either heavy-duty control or medium duty control, allowing you to pick the one that is best for your location.

Regardless of water barrier type, all our curtains are manufactured specifically to control turbidity during dredging projects, shoreline stabilization, demolitions and pile driving.

Hopefully this information has been helpful. Our team would be happy to assist you in finding the barrier that best fits your requirements.

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to call us at (+1) 772-646-0597.
