Environmental Information

Builders helping to protect the environment:

Silt Shield is proud to say that we stand up for the environment.

 

Silt Shield offers the following benefits:

 

FLEXIBILITY

Silt Shield can withstand accidental vehicle impact.

 

REDUCES COST

Old-fashioned silt fence can need replacing up to 6 times at the curb.

 

ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE

Using the most advanced technology in sediment containment, Silt Shield holds up and protects the environment.

 

EASY TO INSTALL

1. Remove dirt from back of curb.

2. Place Silt Shield 6" or 8" below top of curb.

3. Back-fill, compact. DONE.

 

REUSABLE

Installs on back of curb and stays there until final grade or sod, ready to be rolled up and used on the next project.

 

Did you know...

 

Storm water runoff can carry chemicals, oils, and eroded soils, polluting our waterways.

 

Soil erosion is second only to pollution growth as the biggest stress on our environment today.

 

While natural erosion produces nearly 30% of the total sediment in the United States, accelerated erosion from human use of land accounts for the remaining 70%.

 

Conventional stakes and fabric are not durable.

 

Old-fashioned silt fencing is ineffective and not environmentally friendly.

 

Silt Shield's "bounce-back" flexibility can handle accidental vehicle impact.

 

Silt Shield filters storm water as it flows through drainage holes.
