Silt booms
Preserve river banks and beds as well as sea beds by using silt containment booms at your construction site.
Construction sites in water or on the banks of water systems run the risk of disturbing the banks and silt beds causing long-term environmental damage. Silt gets carried away by the water and is deposited in other areas where it may cause blockages. At the same time the disturbance may lead to continuous erosion at the construction site.
SpillPro is a leading supplier of silt booms in Australia along with the technical expertise to preserve the integrity of silt deposits at your construction site.

Durability
The sturdy construction of silt containment booms enables them to withstand harsh water and weather conditions over a long period of time. The high-quality materials are resistant to the abrasive effects of silt.
Long-term environmental management
Silt booms prevent silt from washing away leaving the construction area exposed. They also prevent silt from settling in another downstream location where it may cause blockages. Long-term damage to the environment is prevented by managing the silt disturbance at the time of construction and at the construction site.
Flexibility
Silt containment booms come in different models and sizes. They can be used in calm water situations or in deep water with high winds and currents. Silt booms can also easily be joined together to make a continuous boom of any length.

How silt booms work
Construction sites alongside water disturb silt, creating unsightly dirty water and problems of erosion. Silt containment booms float on the water surface and have a long skirt that hangs into the water. The skirt catches silt floating in the water and directs it down to the bottom surface. This silt accumulates on the surface where it is compacted into position by the downward pressure of water flowing under the skirt.
Silt booms are easy to load and store on standard pallets. They can be quickly deployed by truck or boat to the area where they are needed.
