Turbidity or Floating Silt Curtains are flexible sediment control barriers designed to prevent the spread of silt and sediment in lakes and other water bodies when work is being performed in water, on or near the shoreline. Constructed of permeable or non-permeable material, the turbidity curtain is suspended vertically in the water with an upper hem for enclosing floatation material and a lower hem for holding ballast material. Standard and custom fabricated sizes are available with a variety of fabric options, floatation sizes, load bearings, ballast members, connectors and lengths to suit your project needs. The Nilex Advantage Nilex is committed to unearthing better results. Whether it’s for a civil, resource or environmental project, we offer the latest engineered and technically superior materials and techniques to save our customers time and money, and minimize the need to move or remove earth, and reduce the need for granular materials.
