Type 3 HD Permeable Turbidity Curtain

Our Type 3 HD Permeable Turbidity Curtain is built for high-demand applications, including locations with strong currents, wave action, or boat traffic. Designed to handle flows up to 1.5 knots, this curtain provides effective sediment containment while allowing controlled water flow throughout the length of the barrier.

Unlike traditional turbidity curtains, the integrated monofilament geotextile panel filters out suspended solids while reducing hydraulic pressure on the barrier. This increases curtain lifespan, reduces settling time, and ensures more stable performance in dynamic conditions.

*Reduce curtain loads and increase field use-life with the right anchor type, placement, and installation design. Our experts can help you determine the anchor pattern and placement needed to support the compliance requirements for your job site.

• Tow bridles
  Prevent stress tears and material damage during deployment or relocation. Tow bridles distribute force evenly across the curtain during towing and positioning.
• Anchor kits
  Pre-assembled kits designed for secure positioning and stability. Components are also sold separately for customized setups.
• Floating marker lights
  Ensure visibility at night and meet maritime safety regulations for construction zones in active waterways.
• Reefing lines
  Easily adjust curtain depth in uneven or changing water conditions. Ideal for installation across varying bottom contours.
  Best practice: Maintain a 1 ft. gap between the curtain’s base and the seafloor to prevent dragging.
• Tidal compensators
  Automatically adapt curtain height to rising and falling water levels in tidal zones or storm-influenced areas.
  Choose our Heavy Duty Tidal Compensator for rough water conditions and high-stress installations.
• Tidal Compensators – For use in areas with fluctuations in the water depth on the shore, such as tidal areas. Save yourself time in manually adjusting the curtain after storm events or tidal changes. The tidal compensator will take care of it for you, automatically adjusting with changes in water levels to keep the curtain secure and at the proper depth in the water. The Heavy Duty Tidal Compensator is another option best suited for rough conditions.
