ACE Centro Enterprises supplies ACE Silt Curtains and Turbidity Barriers for dredging, marine construction, land reclamation, port development, channel dredging and environmental protection projects across the UAE, GCC and Middle East.

ACE Silt Curtains are flexible vertical floating turbidity barriers designed to extend from the water surface to a specified depth, helping control the spread of suspended silt and sediment generated during dredging, marine construction and pile-driving activities.

ACE supplies these systems to the dredging, offshore, petrochemical and civil construction sectors, with flotation elements and membrane-holding ties provided as part of the turbidity barrier system.

ACE Silt Curtains UAE

ACE Silt Curtains are suitable for a wide range of marine and water-based applications, including:

Dredging operations
Channel dredging
Harbour dredging
Port construction
Marina development
Land reclamation
Sand reclamation
Lake dredging
Marine construction
Pile driving
Waste and pollution control
Environmental dredging
Coastal infrastructure projects

The curtains help establish a controlled work zone around marine activities and can form part of a project's overall turbidity and sediment-management strategy.

What Are ACE Silt Curtains?

A Silt Curtain, also called a Turbidity Curtain, Turbidity Barrier, Silt Barrier or Sediment Curtain, is a floating containment system used in water to help restrict the movement of suspended sediment.

The system typically consists of a floating section at the surface and a flexible curtain membrane extending downward to the required depth.

ACE's published silt curtain range includes systems designed for different water conditions, from relatively calm environments to more demanding marine applications.

ACE Silt Curtain Types
Type I Silt Curtain – Calm Water

Type I silt curtains are designed for relatively calm water environments such as:

Ponds
Lakes
Sheltered harbours
Low-tide areas
Low-wave environments

These barriers help increase settling time and reduce the spread of silt and suspended sediment throughout the surrounding waterbody.

Type II Silt Curtain – Moderate Conditions

Type II silt curtains are manufactured using robust materials for applications involving moderate environmental exposure.

ACE's published specifications identify Type II systems for areas where wind speeds are below 1 knot and wave heights are below 2 feet.

Type III Silt Curtain – Demanding Conditions

Type III silt curtains are manufactured using high-strength fabric for more demanding conditions and longer-duration applications.

ACE's published information identifies Type III curtains for applications with wind speeds around 1.5 knots. Actual site conditions should be evaluated when selecting the curtain, anchoring and deployment arrangement.

ACE Silt Curtains for Dredging

Dredging operations can disturb seabed sediments and increase turbidity in surrounding waters.

ACE Silt Curtains can be deployed around designated dredging areas to help control the movement of suspended sediment and support the project's environmental-management requirements.

Suitable Dredging Applications

Capital Dredging
Maintenance Dredging
Channel Dredging
Harbour Dredging
Port Dredging
Marina Dredging
Environmental Dredging
Land Reclamation

ACE also supplies specialized dredging equipment, including dredging pumps, amphibious dredgers, dredging pipelines, hose floaters and other marine equipment.

ACE Silt Curtains for Marine Construction

Marine construction activities such as piling, seawall construction, breakwater construction, bridge works and seabed excavation can disturb underwater sediment.

ACE Silt Curtains provide a practical turbidity-control solution for creating a designated containment zone around active marine works.

They can be considered for:

Port construction
Harbour development
Marina construction
Waterfront development
Coastal infrastructure
Seawall construction
Breakwater projects
Marine piling
Bridge construction
Intake and outfall works
ACE Silt Curtains for Land Reclamation

Land reclamation involves the placement and movement of large quantities of sand and marine materials.

ACE Silt Curtains can be deployed around designated reclamation areas to help control suspended sediment and reduce its uncontrolled movement into adjacent waters.

ACE's broader dredging portfolio supports reclamation and marine infrastructure projects with dredging pumps, pipelines, dredgers and related equipment.
