1. Product Name

2. Product Description
Layfield's standard FSC design will prevent particulate materials from leaving the immediate area of construction or earth works. A sturdy FSC filter fabric will protect aquatic environments, and protect you from costly environmental clean up work and liability from environmental damage. Layfield's standard FSC units are available in nominal heights of 7ft, 13 ft and 19 ft (2.1m, 4.0m, 5.8m) but custom curtains can be made to accommodate any water depth. The standard FSC body is constructed of Typar 3401 filter fabric, a strong, high filtration material exclusive to Layfield. The float and bottom sleeve of the FSC are wrapped with UV stable, high strength RPE materials for durability. While the standard FSC sections are constructed with international orange fabric around the float and visible above the waterline, custom colours are available.

4. Installation
Layfield's FSC units are available in 50 ft (15m) lengths, and connecting hardware is included with each unit so the system can be expanded to any length. To install our FSC’s, prepare a staging area close to the installation site and install anchors at the end points of the barrier. Unroll the Barrier sections and spread them out. Join the two edges of the barrier sections with hardware. Furl the curtain sections by passing lines around the skirt of the curtain. Carefully slide the curtain into the water and secure the leading end to the work boat. When the Barrier is in its desired position, the FURLING lines can be loosened to lower the skirt to its proper depth. Intermediate anchors may not be needed since these devices are mostly used in still water applications; if intermediate anchors are needed they can be placed at strategic locations depending upon the deployment geometry.
