Case Study: Turbidity Curtain Road Widening in Klamath Falls, Oregon

In Klamath Falls, Oregon, a major road widening project required sediment control along a reservoir to prevent suspended solids from entering the water. To meet state compliance requirements and protect the waterway, GEI Works supplied 5,300 linear feet of Type 2 DOT turbidity curtain. This heavy-duty curtain ran the length of the construction area, ensuring safe and effective sediment containment.

The turbidity curtain was manufactured using 18 oz reinforced fabric and delivered in 50’ x 10’ sections. This modular design allowed for efficient deployment and flexibility during the project. The solution provided reliable protection in moderate flow conditions while meeting DOT specifications.
