SILT SOCK
SILT SOCK
Used for Sediment Control
- Silt Sock is a polypropylene mesh sock filled with a filter material.
- It is a low-maintenance, cost-effective and environmentally friendly product used for sediment control on job sites.
- Filled socks may be used as an alternative to silt fence and straw bales in many areas. Silt Sock has a low profile allowing for easy site access.
Weight & Handling
- Wood chips provide great stability when placed in areas with high water flow. However, their weight can make transportation and installation slightly more labor-intensive.
Sourcing & Supplying
- Sourced as a byproduct of forestry and sawmill operations, wood chips are a renewable resource. However, their availability depends on logging activities, which may have environmental trade-offs depending on how forests are managed.
WHY CHOOSE SILT SOCK?
Water Filtration
- The porous structure of wood chips allows for slower water filtration. This slow filtration helps capture fine sediment particles more effectively, making wood chips better for controlling erosion in areas with fine soils or slower-moving water.
Material Composition
- Wood chips are made from processed wood and have a dense, rigid structure. Their uniform size and shape ensure consistent sediment control performance. Because they decompose slowly, they provide long-lasting protection and reduce the need for frequent replacements and maintenance.
Active Water Processor
Silt Sock traps sediment while allowing water to filter through. The design of the Sock provides close contact with the ground preventing water from flowing underneath.
