Silt curtain for dredging are important in some operations to control the effects of turbidity during activities. Operators must also be prepared for spill response and the safe storage of liquids onshore and on barges and be ready and able to clean up any spills immediately.
Spill response for Ports is a very important concern. With constant vehicle traffic and hydraulic equipment used in stevedore operations, there is a potential risk for spills of hazardous substances to end up in the waterway or stormwater system.
The Ports & Dredging industries are dynamic and environmentally challenging industries facing many potential control, containment and spill clean up requirements. We recommend a range of spill response, stormwater protection, sediment control and containment solutions to ensure your organisation is prepared to manage liquids and sediment contamination on land and in waterways during Port and Dredging activities..

Dredging and excavation operations causes large quantities of silt and sediment to be disrupted in marine environments. This could potentially release contaminants into environmentally sensitive regions of the aquatic system.
Vessels may be carrying stored volumes of fuel, lubricants and oil and should therefore be equipped with suitable spill kits and appropriate storage to contain spilled hazardous liquids.
This situation is a great example of a time where construction site sediment and spill control and containment are required
Cateogory: Silt & Sediment Control
Application :
Easy to install, silt curtain for dredging will control turbidity and assist in the settling of solids (silt) suspended in water. The flotation of the silt curtain can also function as a floating containment boom for fuel spills on water.
Application :
Dewatering bags are an economical way to filter sediment laden water before discharge off site.
Cateogory: Spill Containment
Application :
Temporary storage to bund anything that could leak during operations including mobile generators, hydraulic equipment, portable toilets and containers of liquids.
Cateogory: Spill Control
Application :
The SpilMax range of spill kits and absorbents are suitable for the clean up of leaks or spills including oils, fuels, diesel, coolant and other hazardous chemical liquids.
Chatoyer Solution
Spills in waterways require quick containment and absorbents on site. Spill response products and containment options differ depending on your location and how much room you have to store the spill response products to suit the potential spill risk.
Application :
An impervious barrier designed to deflect or contain hydrocarbon spills or floating debris in aquatic environments. Can be lined with absorbent marine booms to clean up hydrocarbons.
Application :
The fence boom is constructed using square and flat sections allowing it to be stored in bags, cages or reels.
Application :
The SpilMax range of marine booms and absorbent pads are suitable for the absorption and containment of hydrocarbons on water.

During construction operations such as earth moving and excavation, there is a potential risk for silt and sediment to leave the site and migrate to environmentally sensitive areas or run off into the stormwater drain. If excavating in or along side a waterway, turbidity in the waterway will need to be addressed. Here are some construction site sediment control products to assist with environmental compliance during your project.
Cateogory : Silt and Sediment Control
Application :
Strategically installed in waterways, silt curtains control turbidity and assist in the settling of solids (silt) suspended in water. The flotation of the silt curtain can also function as a floating containment boom for fuel spills on water.
Application :
Dewatering bags are an economical way to filter sediment laden water before discharge off site.
Application :
Application :
Placed inside the drain pit to prevent silt and sediment from entering the stormwater system.
Chatoyer Solution
Spills from fueling and operation of vehicles and hydraulic equipment should be contained and require immediate remediation to ensure any hazardous substances do not enter near-by stormwater drain pits or pollute environmentally sensitive areas.
Application :
For temporary storage of equipment, drums, tanks, containers, generators, batteries or vehicles.
Application :
This all natural absorbent encapsulates oil and hazardous liquids for easy clean up.
Application :
Absorbents to clean up liquids from leaking equipment, tools, machinery or any spill.
Application :
The SpilMax range of spill kits and absorbents are suitable for the clean up of leaks or spills including oils, fuels, diesel, coolant and other hazardous chemical liquids.
Chatoyer Solution
Any spills or leaks of hazardous chemicals should be contained at the source so it can be remediated effectively and ensure the surrounding environment is protected. Bunding and containment products are ideal in liquid storage scenarios. Because they are portable and permanent options there is something to suit almost any situation.
Category: Liquid Containment
Application :
An ideal way to create secure bunded areas in workshops, liquid storage areas and across warehouse doorways to contain spills. Aluminium Floor Bunding is fire resistant – ideal for the energy industry.
Application :
For temporary storage of anything that could leak. Portable bunding that’s easy to transport and deploy.
Application :
Temporary storage to bund anything that could leak during operations including mobile generators, hydraulic equipment, portable toilets and containers of liquids.
Application :
Flexible Tanks (bladders) are a cost effective, portable, easy-to-manage liquid storage product. Choose the appropriate materials and your Flexible Tank can store a wide range of liquids including potable water, edibles, waste water and hazardous chemicals. Flexible Tanks have wide range of applications.
