Type 2 turbidity curtain helps with silt and sediment control in moving water. Many cities and counties have rivers or lakes with currents, waves, and tides, and these waterways need additional support to keep dirt and debris from spreading.
Municipalities are continually improving the roads and community areas within their borders. Floating Barriers prevent sediment from contaminating nearby flowing water, saving local governments from fines and other penalties.

Type 2 DOT silt curtain is often used by Transport Infrastructure departments during road and bridge construction near flowing rivers and lakes subject to moderate tide variations. It meets or exceeds regulations set by the Department of Transportation in most states. One Clarion also can provide the correct turbidity curtain accessories and equipment required by the DOT for turbidity curtain installation and maintenance. By using turbidity curtains, cities and counties can save time and money that would be wasted through project delays and regulatory fines.

Contractor silt curtains are the most inexpensive of the Type 2 models. They are best suited for short projects near flowing streams and creeks with low silt levels. For example, the Parks and Recreation department may wish to create jogging trails near a small running river. Contractor floating turbidity barriers will keep project dust and dirt from spreading through the water and carrying it down stream.

The Type 2 permeable silt curtain is specifically designed for moving water with currents up to 1 knot. When the current creates build up and pressure on the curtain, the geotextile panel allows water to filter through while still containing any sediment. The reinforced stitching prevents any separation between the PVC frame and the permeable monofilament section.
