Type I Silt Curtain Calm Water Applications

Type I Silt Curtains are designed for relatively calm water environments where tides and wave action are limited.

Typical Applications
Lakes
Ponds
Sheltered harbours
Calm-water dredging
Marina maintenance
Lagoon dredging
Small-scale sediment-control works

Type I barriers help increase settling time and limit the spread of suspended silt and sediment within the waterbody.

Type II Silt Curtain – Moderate Water Conditions

Type II Silt Curtains are manufactured using robust materials for applications involving moderate water movement.

ACE's published specifications identify Type II curtains for conditions with wind speeds below 1 knot and wave heights below 2 feet.

Typical Applications
Nearshore dredging
Harbour construction
Marina development
Port maintenance
Coastal construction
Marine piling
Reclamation works
Moderate-current dredging
Type III Silt Curtain – Heavy-Duty Marine Applications

Type III Silt Curtains are manufactured using high-strength fabric for demanding conditions and longer-duration deployments. They are suitable for consideration in more challenging offshore, dredging and marine construction environments.

Typical Applications
Offshore dredging
Port construction
Large-scale reclamation
Harbour dredging
Marine infrastructure
Heavy-duty sediment control
Environmental dredging
Coastal construction
Extended-duration projects

For Type III applications, the final curtain and anchoring configuration should be selected based on actual site conditions, including currents, waves, water depth and deployment duration.

Type I vs Type II vs Type III Silt Curtains
Type Typical Environment Main Application
Type I Calm water Lakes, ponds, sheltered areas
Type II Moderate conditions Nearshore & harbour projects
Type III Demanding conditions Offshore, dredging & heavy-duty marine works

Important: The correct type should be selected based on the project's actual marine conditions rather than simply the project size.

How to Select the Correct Silt Curtain Type

For a proper recommendation, ACE can assess:

Water depth
Required curtain/skirt depth
Total curtain length
Current velocity
Wave height
Wind conditions
Tidal movement
Dredging method
Sediment characteristics
Project duration
Anchoring requirements

This is particularly important for Type III heavy-duty applications, where the curtain, flotation and anchoring system must be appropriate for the expected marine forces.
