| Type 2 Medium-Duty Turbidity Curtain Specifications |
| ABASCO Type 2 Turbidity Curtains combine our standard high-strength fabric with heavy-duty tension members (above the flotation and at the bottom of the skirt), and aluminum stress plates at the bottom skirt corners. They are ideal for silt and sediment control during dredging and marine construction in areas with mild current, wind and wave activity. |
