Protect the Environment and Your Construction Project with Turbidity Barriers

Floating turbidity barriers are an essential tool in preventing sediment contamination from construction sites from entering nearby waterways such as oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, and streams. The floating top edge keeps the barrier above water level creating an effective seal. Having a turbidity barrier is not only an effective BMP (Best Management Practice), but will help avoid costly fines and potential project shut-downs. The Clean Water Act (1998) and subsequent NPDES (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) regulations have mandated that our water resources be protected from pollutants and the turbidity barrier is one of the most cost-effective ways to control floating turbidity at it's source.

Some of the most common applications for these barriers are jobs that entail the following:

• Dredging Operations
• Restoration Projects
• Roadside Construction Work
• Silt Containment Areas
• Marine Construction Jobs
• Pile Cleaning and Extraction

Using a turbidity barrier in during these operations and in other applicable instances helps save both your project and the environment.
