Silt Screens & Silt Curtains
Manufactured in the UK by Cowens. Engineereed specialist water-permeable turbidity barriers designed to contain suspended solids during marine construction, dredging, and excavation.
Water-Permeable Silt Screens
Our specialist water-permeable silt screens are designed to mitigate environmental impact by capturing silt pollution before it enters delicate watercourses. Ideal for controlling runoff during ground excavation, embankment works, and site de-watering.
- ✔ Prevents silt build-up in local rivers, drainage, and waterways
- ✔ Constructed with high-strength geotextile filtration fabric
- ✔ Reduces ecological stress and meets environmental compliance
- ✔ Custom dimensions to fit specific site requirements
Floating Turbidity Silt Curtains
Cowens floating silt curtains provide containment for suspended solids during in-water works. Fabricated using seamless welding and lock-stitching with rot-proof threads for extreme durability in turbulent water.
- ✔ Seamless welding with rot-proof lock-stitched reinforcement
- ✔ Depths ranging from 0.5 metres to 9.0 metres
- ✔ Standard lengths from 5 metres to 25 metres
- ✔ Anchoring rings positioned every 5m under floatation foams
