    Silt Curtain

    This document discusses the feasibility of manufacturing silt curtains in-house in India. It outlines the typical components of a silt curtain system, including screen fabric, flotation elements, tension cables, ballast, section connectors, and anchoring systems. While the components could potentially be sourced and integrated in India, there are currently no domestic manufacturers. Establishing these supply chains would take at least 3 months. Given the need to install the silt curtains by January 2022, it is recommended to not pursue in-house manufacturing and to source the curtains from outside India instead.

    FEASIBILITY OF MANUFACTURING OF SILT CURTAIN IN INDIA/ IN HOUSE

    The Silt screen are customized to a particular project based on the site condition. The design, configuration depends on the manufacturer. However the basic components of the Silt screen system are shown in diagram below ( These may vary with the design)

    COMPONENTS OF SILT SCREEN SYSTEM

    Screen Fabric

    - Vinyl coated nylon or !olyester or a combination of

    these with geote"tile filter. This fabric is specified by weight per S# $ and tensile strength. This is a very specialized material and not produced in %ndia .

    Fl a!a!i n Ele"en! - &ylindrical / 'ctagonal e"panded polystyrene (logs)


    placed end to end in the top fabric poc*et with separations between (logs) to allow folding for shipment and storage#

    Ten$i n Cable - +alvanized steel cable, with a fair

    brea* strength , sheathed in vinyl and seamed into the fabric one on each side of the s*irt ( below the flotation). These cables are shac*led to the section connectors for uniform tension load transfer.

    Balla$!

    +alvanized steel chain enclosed in a double layer fabric poc*et at the bottom of the s*irt. The ballast chain enables the s*irt to hang vertically in the water column. The ballast chain is shac*led to a stainless steel stress plate at the end of each section. , hoo* and ring arrangement is provided to transfer the load from one section to the ne"t through the stress plates.

    Sec!i n C nnec! r

    These are aluminum connectors that e"tend from the top of the flotation down the edge of the s*irt. -elow the connectors, s*irts are joined by rope ties between evenly spaced grommets on the s*irts. The ballast chain.stress plates are attached via a safety hoo* and ring.

    Anc% r & in! / , +alvanized steel plate with ring one on each side based on
    the design.

    Ree'in( $y$!e" ) 0eefing lines to raise and lower the curtain s*irt. This
    allows for the system to match the depth re#uirements of the project e"actly.

    There is no manufacturer of complete silt screens . screen fabric in %ndia. Technically silt curtains can be manufactured in house. in %ndia, since it encompasses integration of a few components li*e fabric, 1loats, chain, plates, -allast etc. The manufacturer of the various components and an integrator for Silt curtain system may not be readily available in %ndia. 2eveloping these vendors . s*ills will ta*e minimum about 3 months. This may not be suit to our project completion time since silt curtains are re#uired to be installed by 4an 5676.

    Rec ""en+a!i n
    ,lthough, silt screens manufacturing could be possible in %ndia. in house, but since components are not readily available, there will be a minimum lead time to source these items, in addition to the production time The Silt curtains are re#uired to be positioned by 8nd 4an 69, therefore, it is recommended that option of manufacturing Silt screen in %ndia may not be perused further. The commercial aspects could not studies view non availability of cost data.
