Lake dredging can disturb accumulated silt, sediment, sludge and organic material, creating localized turbidity around the dredging equipment.

A floating silt barrier can be positioned around the active dredging zone to help restrict the movement of suspended sediment and maintain a controlled work area.

Typical Lake Dredging Applications
Lake desilting
Lake restoration
Reservoir dredging
Pond dredging
Lagoon dredging
Sediment removal
Environmental dredging
Sludge removal
Waterbody rehabilitation
Ecological restoration

ACE supplies dredging and de-silting equipment for applications involving silt, sludge, sand, gravel and abrasive slurry, allowing the sediment-control system to be combined with suitable dredging equipment. (ACE Centro Enterprises)

Floating Silt Barrier for Channel Dredging

Channel and canal dredging operations can generate suspended sediment as accumulated material is excavated from the channel bed.

Floating silt barriers can be deployed around the active dredging area to help control sediment migration along the waterway.

Channel Dredging Applications
Navigation channel dredging
Maintenance dredging
Canal desilting
Drainage channel cleaning
River dredging
Irrigation channel maintenance
Industrial water channels
Waterfront channels
Environmental channel restoration

ACE specifically lists channel dredging among the applications for its silt curtain systems. (ACE Centro Enterprises)

Floating Silt Barrier System

A typical system consists of:

Floating Section

Silt Curtain Membrane

Bottom Ballast / Weight

Anchoring System

The flotation section keeps the barrier at the water surface, while the curtain extends downward into the water column.

ACE's product portfolio includes silt curtains with anchor blocks, allowing the barrier to be positioned around the designated work area. (ACE Centro Enterprises)

Silt Barrier Types

ACE offers different silt-curtain configurations according to water and site conditions.

Type I – Calm Water

Suitable for relatively calm water environments such as:

Lakes
Ponds
Sheltered water bodies
Lagoons
Low-current areas

Type I curtains can help increase sediment settling time and limit the spread of suspended material. (ACE Centro Enterprises)

Type II – Moderate Conditions

Type II curtains use robust materials for moderate conditions. ACE's published specifications identify Type II curtains for wind speeds below 1 knot and wave heights below 2 feet. (ACE Centro Enterprises)

Type III – Demanding Conditions

Type III curtains use high-strength fabric for demanding conditions and longer-duration deployment. While lake and channel projects may commonly involve calmer conditions, Type III can be considered where stronger currents, waves or prolonged deployment require a more robust system.

ACE's dredging equipment portfolio covers applications involving sand, silt, sludge, gravel and abrasive slurry. (ACE Centro Enterprises)

Environmental Lake & Channel Dredging

Floating silt barriers are particularly useful as part of an overall sediment-management strategy for environmentally sensitive water bodies.

Potential applications include:

Lake restoration
Canal rehabilitation
River restoration
Environmental dredging
Contaminated sediment removal
Wetland restoration
Lagoon cleanup
Industrial pond cleaning
Waterway rehabilitation

ACE also provides environmental dredging solutions for contaminated sediment removal, marine and coastal cleanup, shoreline restoration and ecological restoration projects. (ACE Centro Enterprises)

Selecting the Correct Floating Silt Barrier

The appropriate barrier configuration depends on the project conditions.

Important information includes:

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

For lake and channel dredging, the curtain depth should be selected according to the waterbody characteristics and the intended sediment-control zone.
