The silt curtains will extend vertically from the sea surface to the seabed. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid along the surface of the silt curtains to mark the extent of the silt curtains.

Diving Operations will be carried out from a work boat from time to time during the laying, inspection and maintenance operations.
