Turbidity Barriers/Silt Curtains/Other?
Turbidity Barriers/Silt Curtains/Other?
(OP)
I know that turbidity barriers/silt curtains are not appropriate for locations where water velocities are 0.5m/s and conditions are not calm. Is there any proof of their effectiveness? I understand that even when these conditions prevail they are of limited use. What are the alternatives when velocities are high and waters are not calm?
Kind regards,

Do those dredging often require certification? I would appreciate any further thoughts.

You may like to look at steel sheet piling driven around the work area as temporary containment structures depending on the depths and density of the bottom material you will be working in. Also the piling can be pulled and reused over again.
