EROSION CONTROL PRODUCTS

Best Management Practices (BMPs)

Silt Fence filters silt, sediment and other contaminants from runoff water and distributed soil surrounding construction sites. This restricts the loss of costly soil while allowing water to filter efficiently into the ecosystem. Consists of a high quality UV stabilized woven geotextile, designed to meet many state and federal sediment control requirements. Contractor grade and pre-wired available in a wide variety of styles and sizes.

• Storm Water Runoff Control
• Enhances Re-Vegetation of Slopes

Erosion Control Blankets (ECB's)
are a temporary protective blanket laid on top of bare soil, commonly made of straw, jute, wood fiber, coconut fiber coir, or synthetics. They are designed for immediate to long-term erosion protection and vegetation formation assistance on severe slopes, channels, and shorelines.

Gabion Baskets offer an environmentally sensitive solution to soil retention slope stabilization. Gabions are built from high strength double twisted hexagonal mesh filled with natural hard durable stone and connected together to create a monolithic mass structure capable of undergoing structural movement without any loss of structural integrity.

Turbidity Barriers or FSC Units (Floating Silt Curtains) provide an effective and price sensitive system for isolating silt or other hazardous materials in aquatic environments. FSC products have been used for several years to isolate hazardous materials within a body of water. Common applications include isolating silts and particulate matter with a solid curtain. Also excellent for shoreline construction where work is done in the water and construction activity stirs up silt from the bottom, or silt is introduced by placing rocks, rip-rap, etc.

Sediment Control Devices

Siltsack© is a sediment control device used during construction that mounts under the grate in catch basins. Siltsack© is made of a permeable geotextile that allows water to pass through but prevents silt and sediment from clogging the drain system.

Gutterbuddy© is a sediment control device that is installed above ground and can be formed around or across the curb inlet. Gutterbuddy© is made from recycled, synthetic fibers that filter out sediment and debris. Built-in overflows drain water more quickly during an extreme event to prevent ponding.

Triangular Silt Dike© is a reusable, multi-purpose alternative to rock check dams. Made of lightweight and durable materials, Triangular Silt Dikes© weigh just 7 to 9 lbs. per seven foot section. A protective apron on both sides of the dike prevents erosion and failure.

Geocells (Cellular Confinement Systems) are a lightweight, flexible mat made of high density polyethylene strips. These strips are ultrasonically bonded together to form an extremely strong, honeycomb configuration. A variety of fill materials can be placed within the confinement system: soil, sand, aggregate, concrete, etc. Used for applications such as ground stabilization, slope erosion control, retaining walls, stream crossing, channel erosion control and embankments.

Dust Control measures are used to stabilize the soil from wind erosion and reduce dust caused by construction activities. Maintaining an effective dust control program helps keep the lighter soils (silt, clay, etc.) on the site and sustains the textural qualities necessary for good vegetative growth.

Coir Mats & Logs
Coir mats & logs are manufactured from 100% woven coconut fiber twine. They are highly suitable for severe erosion control problems such as steep slopes, high velocity flow channels, as well as the stabilization of stream banks and shorelines. Coir mats & logs provide erosion protection where vegetative establishment is expected to be slow.
