A working area of approximately 50 metres around each barge is established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights are laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the barges.

Silt curtains fitted with yellow flashing lights are established within the works areas. The silt curtain is a large piece of netting used to contain mud and sediments.
