TYPE 1 ECONOMY TURBIDITY CURTAIN

For calm water, short duration use in canal, ponds, and reservoirs, the Type 1 Economy silt curtain is compact for easy storage, very affordable, and can work with any project budget. Type 1 Economy has an impermeable construction and works well to contain the silt and turbidity from near-shore projects.

These silt curtains are easily assembled and readily available in stock. As with all our silt curtains, we can build these curtains to custom fit the project. If the project is short duration and the water is calm, the Type 1 Economy will be the most economical curtain for tight budgets. Depths other than 5 ft are available by request and are available in a few days. Contact us for pricing and availability.
