Turbidity Curtains for Dredging Operations
The most commonly used turbidity curtain for a dredging operation will be the Type 2 Turbidity Curtain. These turbidity curtains are the workhorse of our curtains and are designed specifically for locations that feature moving water such as a small current or moving waves. Maximum conditions will include a velocity of up to 1 knot and waves up to 2 feet in height.
Additional Turbidity Curtain Options
For turbidity curtains that are being used in locations with faster moving water, Triton Type 3 Turbidity Curtain is also an option. These curtains are designed for locations where water conditions exceed the Type 2 maximum conditions or for projects that are demanding and/or long-lasting. We do also offer a Type 1 option that can be exclusively for calm water locations.
Some information we would need to know in order to determine the best option for your location includes:
- Water Current/Speed/Velocity
- Wave/Swell Heights
- Tidal Fluctuations
- Wind Speed and Direction
- Project Duration
- Silt/Turbidity Expected for Containment
