In the news: Sustainable Bubble Curtains
Developing a low noise, hybrid power, diesel-free solution at Bewdley
Innovation Magazine, a leading publication highlighting best practice in construction projects across the UK, has covered an innovative trial of a client project involving running our bubble curtain on green energy.
As UK distributor of the Bubble Tubing® technology, we take great pride in this project for its positive impact in highlighting environmental best practices to the construction sector, fostering collaborative efforts, and ensuring the protection of aquatic life.
This trial further demonstrates how Bubble Curtains can be used in sustainable ways to protect the environment during essential construction activity.
Thanks goes to a number of partners including our client, Jackson Civils and the site team at Bewdley, and to TCP and GenAir.

Bubble Curtains protect the environment
Bubble Curtains are used as permanent and temporary solutions for marine and freshwater projects across the world.
Simple to deploy, long lasting and low maintenance, they can help with:
- reducing underwater noise to protect fish and other aquatic life
- preventing silt pollution
- litter control
- inlet protection from risks such as jellyfish
- algae and weed prevention
- oil spill mitigation
- highly effective aeration.
We help industries manage…
Sound Attenuation Bubble Curtains
- Underwater noise and vibration control, mitigating sound from piling, dredging, and construction activities
- Protects fresh water & marine life, minimising acoustic disturbance to sensitive species
- Does not block navigation, allowing vessels to pass freely
- Flexible deployment that easily adapts to varying depths and project needs
- Process driven and design led solution
Silt & Debris Bubble Barriers
- Controls sediment plumes, preventing silt and debris spreading in water
- Protects habitats by shielding sensitive aquatic life and ecosystems
- Creates a flexible silt control barrier that is designed to adapt to varying water depths
- Quick to deploy and remove without inhibiting navigation
Aeration Bubble Curtains
- Lightweight, modular design allows quick setup in urgent situations
- Fine microbubbles restore dissolved oxygen levels fast, stabilising water quality
- No submerged moving parts means low risk of mechanical failure and minimal maintenance under pressure
- Bubble aeration systems can be adapted to various water bodies or emergency site conditions
Water Injection Dredging Bubble Curtains
- Enhances dredging efficiency by keeping fine sediments suspended and improving water injection flow
- Reduces resettling by preventing silt from quickly settling back onto the bed
- Cuts operational costs by minimising repeat dredging and optimising equipment use
- Non-intrusive,flexible and safe to use, making it easy to deploy in busy harbour environments
Litter & Weed Control Bubble Curtains
- Creates a dynamic barrier with rising bubbles blocking and redirecting floating debris
- Non-intrusive solution that allows fish passage and does not harm aquatic life
- Does not hinder navigation so vessels can cross without obstruction
- Low-maintenance & scalable and can be easily adapted for rivers, harbours, or industrial sites
