Project Overview
A dredging contractor in Jupiter, FL was tasked with improving hydraulic flow in a canal that supports both recreational and commercial use. During the dredging process, significant amounts of sediment were disturbed, raising concerns about water quality and regulatory compliance.
The contractor needed a containment solution that would effectively control suspended solids and prevent materials from dispersing into adjacent waterways.
Objective
Contain suspended solids and sediment during dredging operations, ensuring environmental protection and compliance while allowing work to proceed efficiently.
GEI Works Solution
GEI Works manufactured and supplied a Type 2 DOT Turbidity Curtain, designed to establish a floating perimeter around the dredging site. The curtain allowed sediment to remain contained within the defined area, enabling it to settle naturally rather than dispersing downstream.
Key Features:
-
DOT-Approved Curtain – engineered for dredging and construction applications
-
Reliable Sediment Control – confined disturbed solids to designated zones
-
Durable Performance – built for extended deployment in active water environments
Project Highlights
-
Improved Hydraulic Flow
Dredging restored the canal’s capacity for both recreational boating and commercial activity. -
Effective Containment
The turbidity curtain successfully prevented unchecked sediment from escaping into the waterway. -
Environmental Compliance
The contractor maintained clean boundaries and met environmental requirements throughout the project.
Outcome
The Type 2 DOT Turbidity Curtain provided a cost-effective and reliable solution for sediment containment. The client successfully completed dredging operations while protecting the surrounding waterways.
This project illustrates GEI Works’ role in supporting dredging contractors and municipalities with dependable turbidity control products that ensure both project success and environmental stewardship.
