About Silt Fences
Silt fence is used on construction sites as a temporary sediment control device. The solution is put in place to protect the integrity of nearby bodies of water, including streams, seas, oceans, and lakes. Used as perimeter controls, silt fence may be used in conjunction with sediment traps and sediment basins. Installed and managed responsibly, these systems will retain sediment where soil can be distributed via land grading or other earthworks.
Using a silt fence is a popular option as they are easy to implement and relatively inexpensive.
Types of Silt Fence
Standard Staked Silt Fence
Basic installation consists of Standard Staked Silt Fence. Standard fencing has a high filtration and strength faculty. It minimizes pollutants and erosion that may result from construction processes.
Wire Back Silt Fence - Type C
Wire Back Silt Fence - Type C is made up of several components; woven geotextile fabric, hog wire backing, and steel post to provide extra support. Wire Back Silt Fence is required around creeks, streams, ponds, etc.
Orange Safety Fence
Orange Safety Fence is implemented where areas need high visibility and support. Its design is a plastic mesh. The solution is used to mark perimeters and to warn of dangerous areas.
DOT CPOP and DOT TYPE A
DOT CPOP and DOT TYPE A are silt fence engineered with high tenacity polypropylene yarns. This material is designed to manage a stable network by allowing the yarns to maintain a relative position. The rugged material resists ultraviolet deterioration, rotting, and biological degradation. It’s inert to many commonly encountered soil chemicals. The CPOP Silt Fence replaces the Wire Back Silt Fence and is manufactured with a polypropylene mesh backing and pre-staked with true 2” X 2” hardwood stakes on 4’ centers. The TYPE A Silt Fence is pre-staked with 1 1/2” X 1 1/2” hardwood stakes on 6’ centers.
Tree Save Fence
Tree Save Fence is leno woven and creates a high visible orange barrier. It's used to mark boundaries around work zones and eco-sensitive areas. The solution has UV stabilizers to aid against ultraviolet deterioration.
Reasons Why We Use Silt Fence
- The number one reason is to protect ecosystems. Construction can generate loose soil that ends up in nearby waters. These pollutants can contain fertilizers, pesticides, and other hazardous chemicals.
- Local governments have measures for construction work taking place within specified distances of water. Some codes may mandate silt fence regardless of how insignificant runoff is expected to be.
- As most construction sites are transitive, permanent erosion and sediment controls may not be necessary. Silt fences are temporary. They can be up and then gone without having or leaving a lasting impact on the area.
- Silt fence is inexpensive. The design is durable and flexible. This means the solution can be reused as needed. On average, fencing can manage one cubic foot of water flow per second, and is known to hold up to severe weather. With regular maintenance, silt fences will last a good half year, if not longer.
