How the PCS™ works.

Protecting our beautiful wetlands
Suspended Sediment Contained within Waterfront Development

The PCS™ completely encloses an underwater work site or other contaminant source. Acting as a filter, the system prevents contaminants from migrating away from the operation. By slowing water passage, the PCS™ promotes suspended solid settlement. The PCS™ can be deployed to protect resources, such as clam beds and salmon spawning areas. It can also be used to control settling pond and mining discharge.

Creosote Contaminated Dredge Site Clam Shell Excavation inside PCS
A highly effective filter. Using proprietary fabric technology, the PCS™ excludes suspended solids down to the 10 micron range or smaller. Comprised of treated fabric, the patented full-water-depth PCS™ curtain is suspended by flotation billets and anchored in place. Depending on particulate concentrations, required flow rate, and other parameters, higher levels of control may be achieved by using different fabrics, multiple layers, multiple booms and/or lower flow rates through the fabric.
