New Turbidity Curtain

Turbidity Curtains are temporary in-water sediment barriers made of continuous geotextile curtains suspended from a flotation device. A ballast weight holds the curtain vertically. Turbidity curtains are used to keep debris and sediments from reaching the project site. Texas Boom has been making turbidity curtains since 1995. Texas Boom's wealth of experience will guide you in the right direction so you can get the products that you want. 

Many marine constructions lead to soil erosion, which results in more suspended particles. The distance that suspended sediment travels depends on current and wave action, impact water turbidity and the behavior of fish feeding. Many prey depend on suspended organic particles, which can cloud the water. Turbidity curtains can be used to deflect and contain sediment in the immediate vicinity. The design of the right turbidity barrier is affected by the water flow conditions. Different water flow conditions might require a different type of turbidity curtain. Another important aspect is water direction. Turbidity barriers are not dams. They are meant to prevent water flow. They trap sediment. They shouldn't be placed in the middle of channel flows. Your turbidity curtains must be placed in the correct place. Otherwise, they may not work properly. Texas Boom's turbidity curtains are top-of-the-line and ready to use. Texas Boom offers a variety of products that deal with oil spillage and containment. Type 1 Turbidity Curtain

Turbidity barriers are only as strong as the connections between their ends and water. To completely close the area where sediment can enter the water, the floating and lower-weighted ends must touch the shoreline. You can attach the curtain to the end using trees or other large solid objects. To prevent water flow, the fabric can be made impermeable. Silt curtains do not act as water impoundment dams. They are not designed to stop water flow. Silt curtains are used to protect the area where sediment is being deposited. It is common to use a permeable skirt. Silt Curtains can be placed in layers. Multiple silt curtains may be installed in parallel to increase runoff and control. There are two types of skirts: permeable and impermeable. Types I, II and III can be used for slow and medium moving water. Permeable skirts made with silt curtains permit water to flow through them, while keeping sediment and silt in the water. Permeable skirts can be made from geotextile fabric. Permeable skirts are suitable for situations where there is high water, waves, or any other difficult conditions. Texas Boom has been involved in oil spill response for more than 35 years. They offer a variety of products that can be used to contain oil spillages. They can direct you to oil spill containment products which will clean your waterways in an eco-friendly manner.

5 Reasons To Use A Turbidity Curtain

Turbidity curtains are a common site at construction and demolition projects, as well as at water treatment facilities. These barriers contain sediment and prevent it from spreading into surrounding water bodies. Here are five reasons to use a turbidity curtain:

  1. Environmental protection: Turbidity curtains help protect the environment by preventing sediment from entering waterways and harming aquatic life. They are often used in areas with sensitive ecosystems, such as wetlands or near spawning grounds for fish.
  2. Compliance with regulations: Many local, state, and federal regulations require turbidity curtains to prevent sediment from entering waterways. Using a turbidity curtain ensures that your project complies with these regulations and avoids potential fines or penalties.
  3. Improved water quality: Turbidity curtains can help improve the overall water quality by preventing sediment from entering the water. This is especially important in areas where people use the water for recreational activities or to drink.
  4. Increased safety: Turbidity curtains can also help improve safety at construction sites. By containing sediment and reducing visibility, they can help prevent accidents or injuries to workers or members of the public.
  5. Cost savings: Using a turbidity curtain can save money in the long run. Preventing sediment from entering waterways can help avoid costly cleanup efforts and potential fines or penalties. It can also save money on water treatment costs by keeping water clean and reducing the need for additional treatment.

Overall, turbidity curtains are an important tool for protecting the environment and ensuring compliance with regulations. They can also improve water quality and safety and save money in the long run.

3 Reasons Containment Booms Are Essential

Containment booms are a crucial tool in response to oil spills. These floating barriers are designed to contain and prevent the spread of oil in waterways, protecting sensitive environments and wildlife from the harmful effects of the spill. Here are three reasons why containment booms are important after a spill:

  1. Containment booms protect wildlife and ecosystems: Oil & Chemical spills into waterways can devastate the local ecosystem and wildlife. The oil can coat birds and other animals, making it difficult for them to move and causing them to suffocate. It can also contaminate the water and harm fish, plants, and marine life. By using containment booms, responders can limit the spread of the oil and protect these vulnerable species.
  1. Containment booms can prevent long-term damage: Oil & chemical spills can have lasting effects on the environment and the economy. If the oil is not contained and cleaned up promptly, it can spread and cause damage for years. Containment booms help minimize the spill's impact and allow responders to focus on cleaning up the oil as quickly as possible.
  1. Containment booms can help to minimize the cost of the cleanup: The cost of cleaning up an oil spill can be high, and it is essential to minimize these costs as much as possible. By using containment booms to prevent the contaminant from spreading, responders can reduce the amount of oil that needs to be cleaned up and the overall cost of the cleanup.

In conclusion, containment booms are vital in response to oil, chemical, or any contaminant spills. They protect wildlife and ecosystems, prevent long-term damage, and minimize the cost of the cleanup. It is essential to have access to these booms and trained responders who know how to use them effectively during a spill.
