Silt Curtains UAE | Turbidity Barriers for Marine & Dredging Projects
ACE Centro Enterprises supplies high-quality Silt Curtains and Turbidity Barriers in the UAE, providing effective sediment-control solutions for marine construction, dredging, reclamation, port development, offshore works and other activities that can disturb sediment in water.
Also known as Turbidity Curtains, Silt Barriers, Turbidity Screens or Sediment Curtains, these floating barriers are designed to contain suspended silt and sediment within a controlled work zone, helping reduce the dispersion of sediment into surrounding waterways.
ACE provides silt curtain solutions for projects throughout Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and the wider UAE and Middle East, with configurations selected according to water depth, current, wave conditions, project duration and site requirements.
What is a Silt Curtain?
A silt curtain is a vertical floating turbidity barrier installed in a waterbody. The curtain incorporates flotation at the surface and a submerged skirt extending to a specified depth. The barrier helps isolate the active construction or dredging area, allowing suspended sediment to settle rather than spreading throughout the surrounding water.
Silt curtains are widely used during dredging, marine construction, land reclamation, pile driving, port construction and environmental remediation.
Silt Curtain Supplier in UAE
ACE Centro Enterprises supplies turbidity-control barriers for a wide range of marine and civil construction applications.
Our silt curtain systems can be supplied with:
Floating buoyancy elements
High-strength curtain membrane
Reinforced connections and ties
Ballast systems
Anchoring arrangements
Project-specific curtain lengths and depths
Configurations suitable for different water conditions
The system can be selected and configured according to the project's water depth, current velocity, wave action, tidal conditions and required deployment duration.
Types of Silt Curtains / Turbidity Barriers
Type I Silt Curtains – Calm Water
Type I curtains are generally suitable for calm-water environments such as ponds, lakes, sheltered areas and low-energy harbour locations where tidal and wave action is limited.
They are designed to increase the settling time of suspended sediment and help prevent unnecessary migration of silt outside the work area.
Type II Silt Curtains – Moderate Conditions
Type II turbidity curtains are designed for applications involving mild currents, wind and wave conditions. They provide a more robust solution than standard calm-water curtains and are commonly considered for marine construction and dredging applications with moderate environmental conditions.
Type III Silt Curtains – Demanding Marine Conditions
Type III curtains are manufactured using higher-strength materials for demanding applications and longer-duration deployment where greater resistance to current, wind and wave action is required.
The appropriate curtain type should always be selected based on actual site conditions and project requirements.
Applications of Silt Curtains
ACE silt curtains are suitable for:
Marine construction projects
Dredging operations
Channel dredging
Harbour and port construction
Marina development
Land reclamation
Shoreline development
Coastal construction
Bridge and marine infrastructure projects
Pile driving activities
Seawall construction
Breakwater construction
Intake and outfall construction
Desalination projects
Environmental remediation
Sand reclamation
Sediment containment
Waste and pollution-control applications
Silt curtains are particularly valuable where construction activities could increase turbidity or cause suspended sediment to migrate beyond the designated work area.
Silt Curtains for Dredging Projects
Dredging can disturb significant quantities of seabed sediment. Deploying a properly designed turbidity curtain around the working area can help limit the movement of suspended sediment and maintain better control of the surrounding water.
ACE supplies silt curtains suitable for marine dredging, channel dredging, reclamation and port-development projects.
The curtain configuration can be selected based on the dredging methodology, water depth, current conditions and required containment area.
Silt Curtains for Marine Construction
Marine construction projects such as piling, quay-wall construction, seawall installation, bridge works and reclamation can disturb seabed materials.
A properly deployed turbidity curtain creates a controlled separation around the work zone and helps reduce sediment dispersion into adjacent water.
This makes silt curtains an important component of marine environmental protection and sediment-management plans.
Silt Curtains for Ports, Harbours & Marinas
ACE provides turbidity barriers for:
Ports | Harbours | Marinas | Waterfront Developments | Coastal Infrastructure | Marine Terminals
The curtains can be configured to suit the specific water conditions and geometry of the work area.
Silt Curtains for Reclamation Projects
During land reclamation and coastal development, large quantities of sand and sediment may be introduced or disturbed within the marine environment.
Silt curtains can be positioned around designated work areas to help control suspended sediment and reduce its migration into surrounding waters.

Silt Curtains UAE – Marine Environmental Protection
Effective sediment management is an important consideration for marine construction and dredging projects. Silt curtains can help isolate disturbed areas and reduce the uncontrolled spread of suspended sediment.
However, a turbidity curtain is not a universal solution for every site condition. Proper selection, deployment, anchoring and monitoring are essential for effective performance.
ACE can assist clients in determining the appropriate curtain type, dimensions, skirt depth, flotation and anchoring arrangement based on project conditions.
Silt Curtain Selection
When selecting a turbidity curtain, important factors include:
Water Depth
Determines the required submerged skirt depth.
Current Velocity
Higher currents require stronger systems and appropriate anchoring.
Wave Conditions
Wave height and wind conditions influence curtain selection and deployment.
Tidal Conditions
Tidal movement must be considered for marine and coastal applications.
Sediment Type
Fine silt, clay, sand and other suspended materials can behave differently in water.
Project Duration
Temporary short-term installations and long-duration projects may require different materials and configurations.
Anchoring Arrangement
The anchoring system must be suitable for the site conditions and expected environmental loading.
