Type 2 Permeable
Silt Curtain
The Permeable Silt Curtain is an available
option for both Type 2 and Type 3 Silt Curtains.
Rather than featuring an impermeable bottom
skirt, these barriers place a geotextile filter
fabric within the bottom portion of the barrier.
This allows water to continuously flow through
the barrier, while still filtering out silt,
sediment and other displaced materials.
Perfect for use in:

Bays

Dredging

Rivers

Pile Driving

Inland Waters


Lakes
Shoreline
