Pile Extraction Silt Barrier

Silt Control During Piling Extraction

pile extraction silt barrierThe Pile Extraction Silt Barrier is a uniquely designed barrier equipped to surround pilings as they are extracted from a location. Built as an impermeable sock, these turbidity barriers fit directly around a piling to contain materials in the immediate surrounding area.

How Do Pile Extraction Silt Barriers Work?

On the top of the pile extraction barrier, there is a top section opening. This opening is located in the center of the barrier to allow for the unit to fit directly over the top of the piling. As the pile is extracted the skirt will extend down to cover the depth of the piling. This allows coverage of the entire piling to contain materials and prevent any spreading.

Pile Extraction Curtain Installation

pile extraction processThe installation of this silt barrier is designed to be simple, fast and efficient so the pile extraction process is not interrupted. This process can be explained below:

  • Step 1: Clear out the area surrounding the piling/pile.

  • Step 2: Connect the silt protector to the top of the pile. Once the protector is in place begin to remove the piling.

  • Step 3: As the pile is being removed the skirt of the barrier will begin to unroll as the piling comes out of the water. Once the pile has been removed tie off the bottom portion of the barrier for contained transportation to its disposal location.
