Turbidity Barrier UAE | Silt Curtains & Sediment Control Solutions
ACE Centro Enterprises supplies Turbidity Barriers and Silt Curtains in the UAE for marine construction, dredging, land reclamation, port development, coastal infrastructure and environmental protection projects.
Also known as Turbidity Curtains, Silt Curtains, Silt Barriers, Sediment Curtains and Turbidity Screens, these floating barriers are designed to help contain suspended silt and sediment within a defined work area, reducing uncontrolled dispersion into surrounding water.
ACE provides turbidity barrier solutions for projects across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and the wider UAE and Middle East, with systems selected according to water depth, current, wave conditions, tidal movement and project requirements.
What is a Turbidity Barrier?
A Turbidity Barrier is a flexible vertical floating barrier installed in a waterbody. The system typically consists of a floating section at the water surface, a submerged curtain or skirt and a ballast/anchoring arrangement.
During dredging or marine construction, seabed disturbance can create suspended sediment. The turbidity barrier helps isolate the active work area, allowing sediment to settle and reducing its movement into surrounding waters.
Turbidity barriers are commonly used for dredging, reclamation, marine construction, pile driving, port development, bridge construction and environmental remediation.
Turbidity Barrier Supplier in UAE
ACE Centro Enterprises supplies Turbidity Barriers / Silt Curtains to the dredging, offshore, petrochemical, marine and civil construction sectors.
Our turbidity barrier systems can be supplied with:
Floating flotation elements
High-strength curtain membrane
Reinforced connections and ties
Ballast systems
Anchoring arrangements
Project-specific curtain lengths
Different skirt depths
Configurations for different water conditions
ACE's existing turbidity barrier range includes Type I, Type II and Type III configurations, selected according to the expected site conditions.
Types of Turbidity Barriers
Type I Turbidity Barrier – Calm Water
Type I turbidity barriers are suitable for relatively calm water conditions such as:
Ponds
Lakes
Sheltered harbours
Low-current areas
Low-wave environments
They are designed to provide sediment containment while allowing suspended particles additional settling time.
Type II Turbidity Barrier – Moderate Conditions
Type II systems are designed for applications involving greater exposure to wind, waves and mild currents.
They are suitable for various marine construction and dredging applications where a more robust barrier is required.
Type III Turbidity Barrier – Heavy-Duty Marine Applications
Type III systems use high-strength fabric and are intended for more demanding conditions and longer-duration projects.
They can be considered for applications involving stronger environmental forces, subject to project-specific engineering and anchoring requirements.
Applications of Turbidity Barriers
ACE Turbidity Barriers are suitable for:
Dredging operations
Marine construction
Land reclamation
Port construction
Harbour construction
Marina development
Channel dredging
Coastal construction
Bridge construction
Pile driving
Seawall construction
Breakwater construction
Offshore construction
Intake and outfall projects
Desalination projects
Sand reclamation
Environmental remediation
Waste and pollution control
Sediment containment
Turbidity curtains are particularly useful where construction activities may disturb seabed materials and increase suspended sediment levels.
Turbidity Barriers for Dredging
Dredging activities can disturb sediment from the seabed and generate a visible sediment plume.
A properly selected and installed Turbidity Barrier can help contain this sediment around the dredging area, reducing its uncontrolled movement into adjacent waters.
ACE supplies turbidity barriers for:
Capital Dredging | Maintenance Dredging | Channel Dredging | Harbour Dredging | Marine Reclamation | Port Development
Turbidity Barriers for Land Reclamation
Land reclamation projects involve the placement or disturbance of large quantities of sand and sediment.
Turbidity barriers can be deployed around designated reclamation areas to help control suspended sediment and reduce its dispersion outside the working zone.
Turbidity Barriers for Marine Construction
Marine construction activities including piling, quay-wall construction, seawall installation, bridge works, breakwater construction and offshore infrastructure development can disturb the seabed.
A properly designed turbidity barrier helps establish a controlled work zone and supports sediment-management requirements during construction.

Turbidity Barrier UAE – Key Benefits
Sediment Containment
Helps limit the migration of suspended silt and sediment from active construction areas.
Environmental Protection
Supports measures designed to minimize the impact of marine construction and dredging on surrounding water.
Flexible Deployment
Turbidity barriers can be configured for different project layouts, water depths and deployment requirements.
Project-Specific Configuration
Curtain length, skirt depth, flotation, ballast and anchoring can be selected according to site conditions.
Suitable for Marine Projects
Available configurations can be used across sheltered-water and more demanding marine applications, subject to appropriate selection and installation.
How to Select the Right Turbidity Barrier
The correct turbidity barrier should be selected based on actual project conditions.
Important factors include:
Water Depth – Determines the required curtain/skirt depth.
Current Velocity – Stronger currents increase loads on the barrier and anchoring system.
Wave Conditions – Wave height and frequency affect barrier selection and deployment.
Tidal Movement – Tidal environments require consideration of changing water levels and flow direction.
Sediment Characteristics – Fine silt, clay and sand can behave differently when suspended.
Project Duration – Short-term and long-term deployments may require different materials and configurations.
Anchoring Arrangement – Anchoring should be designed according to expected environmental loads and seabed conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a turbidity barrier and a silt curtain?
In marine construction, the terms are generally used interchangeably. Turbidity barrier, turbidity curtain, silt curtain and silt barrier commonly refer to floating systems used to help contain suspended sediment in water.
Where are turbidity barriers used?
They are commonly used for dredging, marine construction, reclamation, port and harbour development, bridge construction, pile driving and environmental remediation.
Which turbidity barrier should I use?
The appropriate type depends on water depth, current, waves, wind, tides, project duration and other site conditions. Type I, II and III systems are selected according to the required level of environmental and mechanical performance.
