Silt Curtain

What is a Silt Curtain?

Silt curtains – also known as turbidity or environmental curtains – are designed to control and limit the spread of suspended particles such as silt, sand, and sediment in water. They are commonly used in marine and freshwater construction projects to protect the surrounding environment and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

The curtain acts as a physical barrier between the work area and the surrounding water, containing particles while allowing water to pass through the fabric. This effectively reduces turbidity and minimizes environmental impact.

With a silt curtain from ELDI, you can clearly define your work zone, control sediment dispersion, and carry out operations in a safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible manner.

Applications

• Used to control sediments displaced by water during construction activities such as excavation along coastlines, roads, and waterfront infrastructure.
• Ideal for operations in seas, lakes, and rivers where containment of suspended particles is required to prevent pollution and environmental impact.
• Applied in projects involving water purification, sediment control, and other environmental protection measures.
• Helps reduce erosion along shorelines and riverbanks by limiting the movement of sediment caused by currents and wave action.
