Turbidity Screens are floating barriers designed to control the dispersion of silt/sediment in a body of water and is typically used at open pipeline disposal operation, effluent discharges, dredging, marine construction and remediation projects.

The Clean Water Act and enforcement of the NPDES (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) has heightened the awareness of pollutants and the effect they have on water bodies and environment. State and Federal regulators have mandated that turbidity be controlled and localized; of the most cost effective ways to do this is through the use of Turbidity Screens.

There are many types of screens available, however we have developed four industry standards that are referred to as Contractor Screen (TYPE 0), Stillwater Screen (Type I), Fastwater Screen (TYPE II) and Ruffwater Screen (TYPE III). Elastec/American Marine manufactures a variety of other barriers for pollutant control, also providing custom solutions for applications where a standard approach is not feasible.

When selecting a screen for a specific project the main considerations are the hydrodynamic forces, project duration and ease of use by field personnel. Our technical staff works closely with engineers, contractors, and regulators from project inception to completion to ensure a comprehensive cost effective solution.

Our products are designed and manufactured to meet our customer's requirements. Elastec/American Marine engineering and fabrication skills have been proven on major projects around the world. We excel in problem solving with design and manufacturing of custom made curtains and barriers.
