Floating Turbidity Barrier

Silt Curtain barriers are for the trapping of sediment caused by a worksite. They are not suitable for use as a dam in a body of water. As a result, significant care should be taken if installing across the flow of water, particularly if the body of water has a fast flow rate.

In bodies of water that fluctuate, such as in a river or in the sea, make sure you take into account the difference in water levels and other expected fluctuations when deciding on the type and length of barriers to use. In many situations, it is recommended to add up to 20 percent to the measured length, although this depends on site and water conditions.

To minimise strain on the silt curtains, particularly in moving water, they should be installed parallel to the flow of water.

Individual curtains can be joined to achieve the desired length.

It is essential the curtains are properly secured, either on the land or in the water. The effectiveness of the barrier will be greatly reduced if it is not well secured.

Our sediment control barriers are designed to trap and filter out sediment from stormwater before it reaches nearby water bodies. They are made with durable, high-quality materials that can withstand harsh weather conditions and heavy sediment loads. Plus, they are also designed with permeable fabrics that allow water to pass through while retaining sediment, ensuring effective erosion control without impeding water flow.

• Compliance with regulations
• Easy to install and requires minimal maintenance while in place
• Can be fully customised for whatever depth or length you need

Our silt curtains act as powerful guardians, efficiently trapping and containing silt and sediment particles suspended in the water. By doing so, we prevent these harmful particles from spreading into nearby ecosystems, safeguarding marine life and preserving the natural beauty of our waterways. By using silt curtains, you can ensure compliance with environmental regulations while maintaining the integrity of your business operations.

• Prevents sediment from contaminating water bodies, protecting aquatic life and ecosystems.
• Reduces turbidity and helps maintain clear water, which is crucial for marine plants and animals.
• Suitable for a wide range of water-based activities, including dredging, pile driving, and construction near water bodies.
• By preventing sediment spread, silt curtains and oil containment boom can reduce the need for costly cleanup efforts and environmental remediation.
• No more project delays.

The turbidity barriers we manufacture and supply are specifically designed for use in sensitive freshwater and marine environments. Our barriers are engineered to protect the natural environment and ecosystem of the water while allowing work to continue on-site. They effectively contain sediment and pollutants generated by the worksite, preventing damage to the surrounding water and habitats.

We offer a range of solutions tailored to your requirements, including floating barriers and staked barriers. This means you’ll be able to find the right barrier to ensure you stay within the environmental consent requirements of your project or site.

Our floating turbidity barriers are designed to rest on the surface of the water such as lakes, rivers, and oceans. These barriers are typically used in scenarios where there is significant water movement or where the depth of the water prevents the use of traditional staked barriers.

Floating barriers are highly effective in controlling sediment dispersion and preventing pollutants from spreading during dredging, marine construction, and other activities near water bodies. Their buoyant design allows them to adjust with water levels, making them versatile and suitable for dynamic environments where tides and currents are present.

On the other hand, our staked barriers are anchored into the ground, making them best suited for shallow water bodies, wetlands, or areas with minimal water flow. They are used in construction sites, stormwater management projects, or erosion control in areas where sediment control is necessary but the water depth is shallow enough to drive stakes into the substrate.

These types of turbidity barriers provide a stable and secure solution in environments where floating barriers might not be practical due to lack of sufficient water depth or low flow conditions. By anchoring them directly into the ground, they effectively prevent sediment from escaping into adjacent water bodies, maintaining the integrity of the ecosystem.
