The land reclamation efforts for future city development in Catbalogan, Samar, Philippines, posed a threat to the marine environment. The dispersion of silt along the coast prompted the need to find a solution to safeguard the region's marine ecology while fostering socio-economic growth. Maccaferri’s cutting-edge Silt Fence or Turbidity Barrier acts as a protective shield, functioning as a filtration system to arrest the spread of colloidal silt suspended in seawater. Strategically positioned, this barrier ensures that the silt is contained several meters away from the termination point of the reclaimed area. Maccaferri's solution not only addresses immediate environmental concerns but also establishes a benchmark for future projects. This innovative approach demonstrates that progress can harmonize with ecological preservation, marking a significant stride toward a balanced and sustainable future. #MaccaferriPhilippines #EngineeringABetterSolution #CoastalProtection
