Silt curtain barriers are designed to control the settling of solids suspended in the water column usually created during construction or dredging operations. The use of silt curtain booms reduces the impact of the suspended solids in the aquatic environment.
The silt curtain is a geotextile fabric screen attached to the skirt of any boom, normally cylindrical boom. The curtain let the water pass through but not the suspended solids. To ensure the vertical position of the curtain, a ballast chain is installed along a bottom hem.
Section length is 25 m and are connected to the ballast chain of the containment booms with shackles, besides silt curtains sections are connected each other with ropes or shackles.
