Avantages of using a FilterSock
-
The tubular design of FilterSock allows for more contact with the ground, allowing for better control of sediment and water-soluble pollutants, when compared to Silt fence.
-
A larger contact area with the ground lowers the risk of sediment and pollutants from passing under FilterSock.
-
A less invasive barrier resulting in minimal disruption for workers on site, and for wildlife activity.
-
Multiple sizes and lengths available to suit your job.
-
Can be used to slow down water run-off on large slopes preventing pervasive erosion issues on site.
-
Little to no removal costs due to the photodegradable or biodegradable nature of the material.
-
Organic material within the FilterSock can be utilized to help with soil health once the product is no longer needed.
-
Organic material in the FilterSock has microorganisms living in it to help break down contaminants.
-
Can be used year-round as there is no trenching involved, making it the obvious choice for winter projects.
-
No soil disruption in the installation phase (no trenching).
-
Better suited to withstand the elements when compared to silt fence lowering the amount of ESC repairs.
FilterSock
Applications
-
Site perimeter
-
Inlet protectior
-
Runoff diversion
-
Sediment traps
-
Slope interruption
-
Check dams
-
Temporary retaining walls
-
Water filtration to reduce turbidity
-

-
On concrete or pavement where silt fence is unable to be staked in
-
Where wildlife must be undisturbed and have the ability to pass over the barrier
Benefits of FilterSock
The first picture depicts a failed silt fence. The flow of water pushes the fence over, allowing contaminated water and sediment to flow in to a fresh water supply.
The next picture shows how FilterSock successfully contains the unwanted sediment and pollutants, allowing filtered water to flow into the fresh water supply.
