This flyer will give you an overview of how and why this product was created and how it can help you save money when working with these type of conditions. Situation & Approaches: Falling debris from work on dam wall needs to be contained. Depth of the water at dam wall: 150 ft. Dam must remain operational—3 x 36” discharge pipes Traditional Approach: The traditional solution to this situation is to use a silt barrier curtain which prevents the spreading of turbidity and sediment, while containing items that have fallen into the water body. Problem: Cost: The installation costs for 1000 feet of floating curtain (100 ft in depth) is very high. Manpower, Risks, & Logistics: The facility still needs to operate and flow.

Floating Containment System 

 

The floating containment system is an innovative 

solution used during dam & bridge repair. This flyer will 

give you an overview of how and why this product was  

created and how it can help you save money when 

working with these type of conditions.  

Situation & Approaches: 

Falling debris from work on dam wall needs to be contained.  

Depth of the water at dam wall: 150 ft.  

Dam must remain operational—3 x 36” discharge pipes 

Traditional Approach: 

The traditional solution to this situation is to use a silt barrier curtain which prevents the 

spreading of turbidity and sediment, while containing items that have fallen into the water 

body.  

 

Problem: 

Cost: The installation costs for 1000 feet of floating curtain (100 ft in depth) is very high. 

Manpower, Risks, & Logistics: The facility still needs to operate and flow.

Option 1: Floating Containment System 

The floating system attaches to the dam wall. Sections can be added to each other to create a 

floating catchment mat.  

Zero buoyancy functionality built‐in.  

Benefits: 

Catches falling items before 

they reach the water 

Water can flow under system 

Compact, easy to transport 

Easy to install 

Rapid deployment 

Versatile

Option 2: Silt Barrier with Changed Installation 

‐Attach the silt curtain skirt to the dam wall 

‐The distance back from the dam wall will dictate the depth of the skirt 

Benefits: 

Catches falling items before 

they reach the water 

Water can flow under
