Controls turbidity in the water. Features skirt and square floation.
Contains floating surface debris. Features round floation.
Contains floating debris longer term. Features belting and hard plastic floats.
Turbidity Curtains are used to slow the migration of sediment in water, giving particles time to settle. Each curtain features a skirt, flotation system, and metal components, and is available in three model types based on site conditions.
For detailed guidance, refer to our Turbidity Curtain Selection Guide to determine the best model for your site’s conditions.
Designed for calm water applications, Type 1 Turbidity Curtain are commonly used in non-tidal water bodies such as lakes, canals, small ponds, docks, ditches, and swales.
Type 2 Turbidity Curtains are recommended for locations with moderate water movement, including waves up to 2 feet, tides, and currents up to 1 knot. Enhanced components include:
Common application: Small dredging maintenance projects, Shoreline construction, Minor environmental remediation.
Type 3 Turbidity Curtains offer the highest level of protection, suitable for rough water conditions, including currents up to 1.5 knots, and areas with significant wave and wind exposure. Additional components include:
Common applications: Large-scale dredging operations, intercoastal and marine projects, sensitive environmental remediation, bridge repair, harbor and port work
When Floating Debris or pollutes water bodies, a Containment Boom can be deployed to capture and control it. Each debris boom is built with key features, including:
Booms are available in multiple PVC fabric colors, and the site's environmental conditions determine the best-suited boom model for your project.
Designed for still water conditions, the calm water debris boom is ideal for areas with little to no current or wave activity. It has a shorter freeboard, draft, and overall height, making it easy to install and maintain in controlled environments. Typical applications include:
Example: trash net boom for light debris control.
The moving water debris boom is engineered for rivers, ports, and streams where moderate current, waves, or tidal activity is present. It offers enhanced durability and anchoring to withstand variable water flow. Ideal for:
Also known as fast water boom, this model is designed for high-energy environments like offshore sites and coastal areas with strong currents, frequent waves, and tidal movement. Common use cases:
This boom type features larger components, heavy-duty materials, and stronger anchoring systems to maintain performance in challenging marine conditions.
Our permanent boom is engineered for extended deployment in Water Management projects where durability and minimal maintenance are critical. Built with urethane-coated polyester belting and hard-molded polyethylene shell floats, this boom is designed to withstand long-term exposure to UV, saltwater, and environmental stress. Permanent boom models can last up to six times longer than standard containment booms, making them ideal for sustained use in challenging marine environments. They are especially effective as seaweed boom commonly deployed in areas impacted by excessive sargassum or floating aquatic vegetation.
The standard permanent boom is suitable for calm to moderate water conditions where extended durability and strength are needed.
Applications: Polluted or debris-laden waters, Locations with invasive aquatic plants, Long-term shoreline or harbor protection
The HD (Heavy Duty) permanent boom is built for high-energy environments with strong tidal forces, waves, and heavy debris loads. Enhanced components include:
Applications: Tidal inlets and rough water conditions, Heavy sargassum management, Coastal infrastructure protection.
