Anchoring Options for the Type 2 Turbidity Curtain


Triton DOT turbidity curtain with anchoringQ
: I have a type 2 DOT turbidity curtain. Would I need anchors to secure this in place? What type of anchor would I use?

A: Yes, we do recommend using Marine Anchors, especially for Type 2 and the Type 3 turbidity curtains. Due torr the moving water conditions where these curtains are typically used, barriers may be prone to movement and instability. The use of an anchor can help keep the curtain in place, and allows it to operate at high levels throughout its use.
