Silt curtains prevents dispersion of sediment
Image from the railway project “Tangenvika Railway Bridge”, showing how the silt curtain effectively separate the cloudy water from the clean water of the lake.
The silt curtain provides a physical barrier and is used to limit the dispersion of particles into the clean waterbody, caused by construction activities in or near the sea and waterways.
Today, builders and contractors often face strict requirements to protect the aquatic environment during construction projects. With silt curtains from Waens, these requirements can be met.
WAENS manufactures and installs curtains for all purposes and also offers removal and recycling of materials after use.
Conditions can vary greatly from place to place, depths, weather exposure, currents and other factors require different solutions. Waens supplies everything from simple prefabricated silt curtains that the contractors can install themselves, to site-built heavy duty silt curtains that handle most of the loads. Our people have maritime expertise and can ensure that the installations are properly anchored and marked.
- Meet the requirements
- Protect aquatic life
