Professional turbidity barrier installation
A turbidity barrier, also called a turbidity curtain or silt curtain, is a floating barrier that hangs down into the water to contain sediment stirred up by work in or near a waterway. It keeps muddy water inside the work area and protects the rest of the water body.
Herndon Inc. installs turbidity barriers as part of complete erosion and sediment control on projects near streams, ponds, lakes, and other waters.
