Sack being used as wetlands
barrier.
Silt sacks are a tubular
mesh product, filled with a custom woodchip compost blend. They
form a portable, easily installed, highly effective alternative to
traditional erosion control methods in virtually every application.
By utilizing the technology of our pneumatic blower trucks, we are able
to apply product in hard to reach areas, while causing very little
disturbance to sensitive environments.
These “sacks” are available in 12”, 18”, and 24” standard diameters,
with lengths custom made as required. Applications include
inlet protection, storm drain protection, ditch checks, sediment
control on slopes and as an alternative for hay and silt fence. The
24” diameter is the most commonly used.
 Silt
Sacks provide superior physical, chemical and biological
filtration, by trapping sediment and silt at the point of
contact. Because they are heavier than traditional
methods, they require little staking and no trenching for a
successful install. Unlike hay bales, Silt Sacks maintain
a constant
ground contact, leaving no areas for unfiltered material to flow
thru. A unique feature of Silt Sacks is that they do not
necessarily need to be removed at project’s end. The
sack
is bio-degradable and will not
harm the environment.
For
a more permanent application, we can inject seed for a more
aesthetic appeal.
