As part of a large-scale coastal development project on Al Fahid Island in Abu Dhabi, construction activities posed the risk of sediment dispersion and increased turbidity—threatening nearby sensitive marine habitats.
The Challenge:
To comply with environmental regulations and minimize the ecological impact of construction activities, the client required a high-performance sediment containment solution capable of withstanding harsh marine conditions, waves, and strong tidal currents.
The Geoseas Solution:
Geoseas was selected to manufacture and supply Type III silt curtains (Geoboom Series), a heavy-duty solution designed for demanding open-water environments. These silt curtains were engineered to:
- Provide maximum containment of suspended sediments
- Remain stable in high-current zones
- Withstand prolonged exposure to UV and saline water
The Result?
- Silt curtains successfully deployed around the active marine work zone
- Turbidity levels effectively minimized beyond the construction perimeter
- Full compliance with EAD environmental guidelines
- Timely manufacturing and delivery, keeping the project on schedule
