Marine Silt Curtain System UAE | Turbidity & Sediment Control for Ports and Reclamation
ACE Centro Enterprises supplies Silt Curtain Systems and Turbidity Barriers in the UAE for port construction, harbour development, marine dredging, land reclamation, sand reclamation and coastal infrastructure projects.
ACE's silt curtains are flexible vertical floating turbidity barriers extending from the water surface to a specified depth. They are designed to help control the spread of silt and sediment during dredging, marine construction and pile-driving activities. ACE supplies these systems to the dredging, offshore, petrochemical and civil construction sectors.
Silt Curtain System for Port Construction
Port construction projects often involve dredging, seabed excavation, piling, berth construction and reclamation. These activities can disturb seabed sediments and increase turbidity in the surrounding water.
A properly configured Silt Curtain System can be installed around the active work zone to help contain suspended sediment and limit its uncontrolled movement outside the designated construction area.
Typical Port Applications
Port construction
Port expansion
Harbour development
Berth construction
Marine piling
Channel dredging
Seabed excavation
Breakwater construction
Jetty construction
Waterfront infrastructure
Port maintenance dredging
Environmental dredging
ACE also supplies dredging pumps and related equipment for port, harbour and marine dredging applications.
Silt Curtain System for Reclamation Works
Land reclamation and sand reclamation projects can involve large-scale pumping and placement of dredged sand and sediment.
A silt curtain system can be deployed around reclamation zones and adjacent marine works as part of the project's overall sediment and turbidity-control measures.
ACE specifically identifies its silt curtains for sand reclaiming and port construction projects.
Reclamation Applications
Land reclamation
Sand reclamation
Coastal reclamation
Artificial island development
Port expansion
Shoreline development
Beach nourishment
Marine infrastructure
Seabed preparation
Dredged-material placement
ACE also supplies dredging equipment capable of handling sand, silt, gravel, sludge and abrasive slurry for large-scale dredging and reclamation projects.
Floating Silt Curtain System
A typical ACE silt curtain arrangement consists of:
Floating Flotation Section
↓
Vertical Curtain Membrane
↓
Ballast / Bottom Weight
↓
Anchor Blocks / Mooring System
The floating section maintains the curtain at the water surface while the submerged membrane extends to the required depth.
ACE's equipment portfolio specifically includes silt curtains with anchor blocks.
Key Silt Curtain System Components
1. Floating Section
Provides buoyancy and keeps the upper portion of the curtain at the water surface.
2. Curtain Membrane
The submerged membrane forms the primary sediment-control barrier.
3. Ballast
Maintains the lower edge of the curtain at the required depth.
4. Anchor System
Helps maintain the curtain's position around the dredging or construction zone.
The final anchoring and configuration should be selected according to actual site conditions, including water depth, currents, waves and tides.
Types of Silt Curtains for Port & Reclamation Projects
ACE offers different turbidity-barrier configurations for varying water conditions.
Type I – Calm Water
Suitable for relatively calm areas such as:
Sheltered harbours
Lakes
Ponds
Low-wave environments
Areas with limited tidal movement
Type II – Moderate Conditions
Designed using robust materials for moderate marine conditions. ACE's published specifications identify Type II curtains for wind speeds below 1 knot and wave heights below 2 feet.
Type III – Demanding Conditions
Manufactured using high-strength fabric for demanding conditions and longer-duration deployments. This type can be considered for more challenging marine construction and dredging environments.
Heavy-Duty Silt Curtain for Port Construction
For larger port and reclamation projects, the silt curtain system should be selected based on the actual marine environment rather than simply the required curtain length.
Important selection parameters include:
Water depth
Required curtain/skirt depth
Total curtain length
Current velocity
Wave height
Wind conditions
Tidal movement
Dredging method
Sediment type
Deployment duration
Anchor arrangement
For offshore or demanding applications, a higher-strength curtain configuration may be required.
Silt Curtain for Dredging & Reclamation
ACE can complement its silt curtain systems with dredging and sediment-removal equipment.
Dredging Equipment
Dredging Pumps
De-Silting Pumps
Submersible Dredge Pumps
Hydraulic Dredge Pumps
Electric Dredge Pumps
Amphibious Dredgers
Underwater Dredges
Dredging Pipelines
HDPE Dredging Pipes
Dredging Hoses
Hose Floaters
Marine Barges
ACE's dredging pump range is intended for demanding applications involving sand, silt, gravel, sludge and abrasive slurry.
ACE also supplies de-silting pumps for marine and dredging operations, including applications involving high-density silt, sludge and slurry.
Environmental Silt Control for Port Projects
For environmentally sensitive port and reclamation projects, the silt curtain can form part of a broader turbidity and sediment-management system.
Potential applications include:
Environmental dredging
Contaminated sediment removal
Port environmental maintenance
Coastal restoration
Marine habitat protection
Lagoon and waterway restoration
Shoreline rehabilitation
ACE provides environmental dredging equipment for contaminated sediment removal, coastal and marine cleanup, wetland restoration and port/harbour environmental maintenance.
