General Characteristics and Applications
What are Water Anchor Systems and who are they for?
Floating curtains and barriers are used to contain silt and sediment in marine construction in water applications regardless of water conditions, whether calm, moving or tidal, as well as oil and other type of debris depending on the particular application they’re been used.
However, in those bodies of water that are subject to currents, tide changes, windy conditions, choppy water, boats or recreational activities, Anchor Systems are added in order to allow the boom to stay in place. Typically, anchors are a requirement for any Type 2 or Type 3 Moving Water Silt Curtain.
Enviro-USA’s Anchor Systems are completely assembled and ready to be deployed. Attaching the anchor system to the Turbidity Curtain is as easy as clipping it on. Anchor Systems are in stock and we can ship them with your turbidity curtain.

Other turbidity barrier products that may work for your project
Complete compliant systems for anchoring/securing a floating turbidity barrier or oil containment boom to land. Silt curtains are commonly required around marine construction work areas and 95% of the time they need to be secured/anchored to a river bank, beach or just on land. We provide a complete solution for this anchoring application.
Enviro-USA’s Floating Marker Light assemblies are most commonly used to indicate caution and location of Turbidity Curtains around work areas in marine construction jobsites. Very commonly used around oil spills indicating location of oil containment boom. Our Floating Marker lights use a Day/Night sensor that automatically turns on at dusk and off at dawn.
Floating Tow Bridles connect to the end of Turbidity Curtains or Oil Booms and are used to tow the product around the work area while getting it in place. Tow Bridles are also commonly used to secure turbidity curtains or oil booms to river banks, the edge of a pond and/or shorelines. Tow Bridles protect and prolong the life of turbidity curtains by evenly distributing the tow load across the connector.
