Turbidity Curtains

Turbidity curtains—also known as silt curtains or turbidity barriers—are floating barriers used to contain suspended sediment in water during construction, dredging, or shoreline work. They consist of a buoyant top, a vertical impermeable fabric curtain, and a weighted bottom that anchors the barrier in place. These curtains prevent sediment from migrating into surrounding clean water, helping protect aquatic ecosystems and maintain regulatory compliance. Available in various types for calm to high-energy water conditions, turbidity curtains are a reliable and effective tool for minimizing environmental impact during in-water activities.
