Ecospill Silt Curtain 1m Drop x 20m Length (Type 1)

The Ecospill Silt Curtain 1m Drop x 20m Length is a high-performance floating turbidity curtain designed for effective sediment control in calm water environments. Engineered as a Type 1 silt curtain, it is ideal for use in dams, rivers, lakes, and other smooth water applications where there is minimal current or wave action.

By forming a suspended barrier within the water column, this sediment curtain helps contain disturbed particles at the source, reducing turbidity and allowing suspended sediment to settle naturally to the bottom. This supports improved water clarity, protects downstream environments, and assists with regulatory compliance on site.

Why Choose a 20m Silt Curtain Section?

The 20m length configuration is ideal for projects requiring longer continuous runs with fewer joins, helping to:

• reduce installation time
• minimise connection points
• improve containment efficiency across larger areas

For maximum flexibility, Ecospill silt curtains are modular and can be easily joined together to create the exact length required for each installation.

What Is a Type 1 Silt Curtain?

A Type 1 silt curtain is designed for low-energy water conditions, making it suitable for:

• dams and retention basins
• calm rivers and creeks
• lakes and ponds
• smooth water with no tidal flow

The Ecospill 1m x 20m Silt Curtain is best used where water movement is minimal, allowing sediment to settle effectively within the contained area.

• Ready to deploy on site
• Modular design – connect multiple sections to extend length
• Available in other skirt depths and curtain classes

How the Ecospill Silt Curtain Works

The curtain acts as a floating sediment barrier, slowing water movement and trapping suspended particles within a controlled area. This allows sediment to settle naturally to the bottom rather than dispersing downstream.

This process helps:

• reduce turbidity and sediment migration
• improve water quality outside the work zone
• support environmental protection measures

Common Applications

The Ecospill Silt Curtain 1m x 20m is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• sediment and runoff control from construction sites
• dredging operations and dredge spoil containment
• mine tailings dams and settling ponds
• aquatic plant and weed control
• containment of algae and waterborne contaminants

Product Summary

The Ecospill Silt Curtain 1m Drop x 20m Length is a reliable and efficient Type 1 turbidity curtain for managing sediment in calm water environments. Its longer section length reduces installation time while maintaining flexibility through modular connections, making it ideal for both small and large-scale projects.
