Noise reduction by an air bubble curtain in offshore pile driving
In this paper, a model is proposed for the investigation of the sound reduction during marine piling when an air-bubble curtain is placed around the pile.
Bubble Curtains can be used to inhibit carp
This research covers findings of field testing of a bubble curtain deterrent system for common carp.
Protecting vessels from fouling using air bubble curtains
This paper describes novel technology to protect vessels whilst stationary using air bubble curtains.
Underwater sound mitigation of bubble curtains with different bubble sizes
Without mitigation measures, piling generates sound pressure levels which exceed the limit values for the sound exposure level and the peak level at distance 750 m. In this work, results from acoustical tests on bubble curtains as well as a first attempt for modeling the mitigation effect of bubble curtains are presented and discussed.
Noise reduction study - air bubble curtain in offshore piling
This paper describes a semi-analytical model that is used for the investigation of the sound reduction during marine piling when an air bubble curtain is placed around the pile.
Bubble Curtains attenuating noise pollution for harbour porpoises
This research shows bubble curtains dampen noise from offshore wind farm construction and reduce temporary habitat loss for harbour porpoises.
Silt management on the Afon Gwili
We used a range of products including: Floc Mat®, Silt Net, Bubble Tubing®, Silt Mat™ and Silt Wattles on this sensitive river project.
Managing invasive weeds and litter
A bubble barrier created with Bubble Tubing® can be used in high value aquatic environments to prevent floating weed and litter from entering managed areas such as moorings.
