Floating Turbidity Barrier

Perimeter Control and Sediment Barrier

A turbidity barrier is a floating geotextile or PVC curtain that is designed to control sediment within a body of water. It is also known as a floating silt barrier or turbidity/silt curtain. The barrier typically consists of floats, curtain, ballast and anchor lines. The barrier may be permeable or impermeable. Barriers of 100' or longer are constructed of a series of connected panels.

Benefits:
— Controls sediment from construction activities where other types of down slope barriers are infeasible
— Protects sensitive wetlands and water bodies
— May be reused on different projects
