With the proper care and maintenance, turbidity curtains can be a long-term investment in your job or project. While not meant to be a permanent solution to turbidity control, these curtains can help manage runoff sediment during inclement weather, or while you’re implementing longer term erosion solutions.
With time and natural wear and tear, a turbidity curtain may become less effective as it’s exposed to rough seas or heavy currents. Holes may form in the plastic or floaters, and anchors or grommets may become dislodged. If unmonitored, a runaway silt curtain can contribute to murky, polluted waters itself.
