Type 2 Heavy Duty Turbidity Curtain will be successful with good installation and adequate accessories. Need to know what turbidity barrier detail accessories you need? Let us make it easy for you. Get all the components needed for your sediment curtain installation from one source and in one shipment. Type 2 Heavy Duty Turbidity Curtain accessory components include:

• Anchor Kits – A pre-assembled and convenient solution to stabilizing and controlling the floating silt screen once installed. Kit components are also available separately.
• Tow Bridles - Helps prevent unnecessary stress tears and damage that occurs when locating (or relocating) curtain.
• Reefing Lines - This accessory greatly simplifies the installation of permeable curtain when it is necessary to adjust each section for depth. The general rule of thumb is to leave a clearance of 1 foot between the base of the sediment curtain and the water body's floor. This keeps the curtain from dragging on the bottom, causing additional turbidity in the water (instead of containing and minimizing it). If the curtain rests on the bottom, the sediment will also pile up against the curtain (pulling it down below the waterline) which impairs the curtain's containment ability. Lastly, the clearance at the bottom also allows safe passage for aquatic animals from the controlled area.
• Marker Lights - Provide night-time demarcation, to meet safety requirements for waterways with significant boating traffic.
• Tidal Compensators - For use in areas with fluctuations in the water depth on the shore, such as tidal areas. Use these handy compensators when securing the edge of the turbidity barrier to the shore. They automatically adjust with changes in water levels, keeping your curtain secure and at the proper depth in the water. For constant, rough water level changes, use the HD Tidal Compensator.
• Buoys
