What is Maximum Water Velocity for Type 1 Barrier?

(Georgia)

Type 1 Turbidity Barrier

I am looking for a Tough guy turbidity barrier, type 1. I will be placing this silt curtain in a lake and I wanted to make sure that my water velocity was not too fast. What is the maximum for this barrier?

Thank you for your inquiry! The Type 1 Tough Guy Turbidity Barrier can be used in various locations such as ponds, lakes, marshes and many other construction sites and locations. To ensure that your barrier does not receive more pressure than it can handle, you should check not only your water velocity, but also your wind conditions, type of sediment used, and duration of the project.

A general guideline for this type 1 barrier is to use it in calm water conditions with very little wind. It is recommended that for this curtain the water velocity of your lake (or other water area) should not exceed one foot per second.
