The Silt Protector is an advanced silt fence designed for installation in water, preventing the spread of environmental contaminants caused by coastal and riverside construction activities. This solution helps preserve the natural environment and protect marine resources by enclosing a specific water zone using a high-strength woven geotextile. The fence contains soil particles generated in the area, allowing them to settle and effectively preventing the leakage and spread of silt-laden water.
Silt curtains, also known as sediment barriers or turbidity curtains, are essential for controlling silt and sediment runoff in water bodies. These floating silt barriers are specifically designed to prevent waterway pollution by containing sediment during activities such as dredging, construction, and stormwater runoff management. Frequently used as an erosion control solution, these environmental silt barriers efficiently reduce turbidity, ensuring water remains clear and safe for aquatic life. Ideal for temporary sediment control, silt curtains offer a reliable alternative to traditional silt fences, providing efficient containment of sediments and preventing water pollution in both marine and freshwater environments.
Type 1 silt curtains are the most commonly used for basic sediment control in shallow water environments. Made from high-strength fabric, these curtains provide a reliable solution for containing silt and sediment in water during construction, dredging, and other water-based activities. They are easy to deploy and maintain, ensuring effective sediment containment for typical construction projects, dredging operations, and site excavation. The fabric is durable and resistant to wear, providing reliable performance over extended periods in calm to moderate conditions.
Type 2 silt curtains are designed to meet specific project requirements, tailored to the particular water conditions and depths of a site. They offer enhanced flexibility in terms of size, shape, and material, making them suitable for unique environmental conditions such as varying water flow rates and depths. These curtains are ideal for marine construction, environmental restoration projects, and dredging operations that require a more specialized solution. Custom-made silt curtains provide superior sediment containment and are often used in more complex or sensitive environments.
Type 3: Heavy-Duty Silt Curtain Type 3 silt curtains are built for high-performance applications in more extreme water conditions, such as deep water environments or areas with strong currents. These curtains are constructed with reinforced, high-strength materials to withstand harsh conditions and heavy sediment loads. Heavy-duty silt curtains are commonly used in offshore construction, high-current dredging operations, and large-scale environmental remediation projects. Their robust construction ensures long-term durability and effectiveness in challenging water conditions.
