Oil Booms, Silt Curtains and Floating Barriers
SEDIMENT CONTROL
Submerged curtains that help limit the spread of suspended sediment.
Silt curtains, also called turbidity curtains, help manage sediment disturbed by dredging, reclamation and marine construction. Surface flotation supports a weighted curtain below the water. A suitable arrangement limits sediment dispersion and can allow suspended particles time to settle.

CONSTRUCTION & FUNCTION
The curtain depth is selected around bathymetry, tides and flow.
Permeable or impermeable materials may be appropriate for different designs.
Positioning, inspection and turbidity monitoring support project performance.
A silt curtain is not a sealed chemical containment system. Bottom clearance and mooring design must be assessed for the site; the skirt should not simply be assumed to touch the seabed.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
The names commonly refer to the same product family. Fabric, reinforcement and deployment configuration create the meaningful differences.
Do not assume so. Standard curtains primarily manage suspended sediment; water and dissolved substances can move around, beneath or through the system.
Type labels vary by supplier. Compare actual specifications and an engineered installation plan against current, waves, water depth and project requirements.
