In areas where projects cause ground disturbance or expose bare soil, the risk of erosion from silt-laden run-off, site debris, and other pollutants escalates, leading to significant environmental diffuse pollution and potential penalties. To address these concerns, our Silt Fence Barrier has been meticulously designed as a high-quality, permeable technical filter fabric, specifically tailored for managing stormwater surface runoff pollution.
According to the Pollution Prevention Guidelines (PPG5) issued by the Environment Agency/SEPA, the installation of an entrenched vertical entrapment fence, such as our Silt Fence, is highly recommended. This fence acts as a crucial line of defense, intercepting and detaining stormwater runoff, effectively trapping harmful silt through settlement and filtration before it leaves your site. To ensure optimal performance, thorough installation, proper placement, and regular maintenance of the Silt Fence Barrier are necessary throughout your project.
Choose from our range of options to meet your specific requirements:
-
Silt Fence Premium: The most commonly used option, this variant incorporates a fibrous yarn woven throughout the material. It excels at filtering smaller silt particles while maintaining high permeability.
-
Silt Fence Highflow: Ideal for sites with high water flows, this option allows more water to pass through while still providing effective filtration. Finer particles may pass through the fabric.
-
Silt Fence Basic: Tailored for domestic use and small-scale projects with a low risk of silt pollution.
Key Features and Benefits of the Silt Fence Barrier:
