Silt curtain deployment is a critical component of environmentally responsible marine construction, helping to contain sediment and protect surrounding waterways from contamination.
At Polaris Marine Group, we provide professional marine solutions across Australia, ensuring compliance, environmental protection, and project success from start to finish.
With more than 35 years of experience in marine operations, Polaris Marine Group is the trusted partner for developers, engineers, and contractors needing reliable, high-quality silt curtain installation and management.
Why Use a Silt Curtain?
A silt curtain is a floating barrier used to control the spread of suspended sediment in water during marine construction, dredging, or shoreline excavation. By containing silt and other particulate matter, these curtains help protect marine habitats, reduce turbidity, and ensure regulatory compliance on environmentally sensitive worksites.
Whether you’re working near coral reefs, marine parks, or urban waterways, the use of a properly installed silt curtain is often a condition of environmental approvals. It’s not just a best practice, it’s a requirement on many Australian marine projects.
