Silt & Sediment Fence – 870mm x 100m

Dewatering Bags, also known as Sediment Filter Bags, are perfect for pumping and filtering sediment laden water from construction or mining sites. They provide a cost effective and simple method of removing silt and heavy particles from excavation water. Manufactured from strong non-woven geotextile which allows water to filter freely through the bag while retaining solids. Flow rate of 80L/m2/sec, subject to variation during usage. Featuring a 100mm diameter hose inlet as standard, the Dewatering Bags can be custom made almost any size to suit different project requirements.

The Silt and Hydrocarbon Filter Bags include an oil absorbent filtration media inside the geotextile bag. They are used to dewater an area containing both hydrocarbon and sediment contamination.

Sabreshield Safety Gloves are made from genuine black foam nitrile material, providing a breathable and lightweight coating the palm.

The GuardDog drain filter offers a revolutionary approach to sediment control. It fits over most stormwater drains to effectively prevent silt, sediment, hydrocarbons and debris from entering our waterways and ocean.

• Traps sediment and hydrocarbons
• Improves water receiving quality
• 100% recycled absorbent media
• 53 micron filtration (0.053mm)
• Absorbs up to 12 litres of hydrocarbons
• Lightweight, low profile and durable
• Side-entry GuardDog features aluminium side strips for a perfect fit around kerbs

Filtration Innovation

The GuardDog works by using an innovative absorbent media called Spilltration® Husky, which is made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste. The material’s fibres absorb hydrocarbons and trap sediment particles as small as 53 microns (0.053mm), finer than a human hair. Spilltration® Husky also delivers exceptional water flow characteristics due to its unique construction, which allows water to wick through, even when saturated with oil.

Performance by Design

The GuardDog features a heavy-duty polyethylene mesh top for drive over durability. The Spilltration® Husky absorbent media removes and traps oils, fuels, sheens and sediment. A raised centre helps to create a damming effect and improve performance in high flow situations. Overflow port prevents water from backing up in heavy rain events. Eyelets provide a means to secure the GuardDog to metal grates with metal ties or concrete bolts.

Suitable for Most Drain Types

The standard GuardDog drain filter is designed to fit most box and v-grate drains. The side-entry GuardDog is wider and features aluminium strips to contour around most kerb inlet drains with or without grates. Custom sizing is also available by request.

When to use one?

The GuardDog is ideal for protecting drains during construction activity. It can also be used in carparks, manufacturing facilities, waste management, rail yards, refineries. The GuardDog helps to improve environmental compliance and avoid penalty notices.

Installation Versatility

The GuardDog can be installed in a variety of ways. It can be screwed directly into the concrete, secured to drain grates via metal cable ties or using high-powered magnets. See our installation guide to find out more.

Superior to Alternatives

Alternatives such as silt socks and coir logs do not trap hydrocarbons, and drain pollution guards can become overloaded to block drains and cause flooding. Unlike silt socks the GuardDog will not split if driven over – it’s a low profile solution that’s foot and vehicle traffic friendly.

ISC Verified Innovation

The GuardDog drain filter was verified by the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) as Australia-first innnovation for its use on the Monash Freeway upgrade. It is listed on iSupply and may assist in obtaining IS Credits for Receiving Water Quality (ISv1.2 Dis-1 / ISv2.1 Env-1), Diversion from Landfill (ISv1.2 Was-2), Innovation Challenge 8 (ISv1.2 & ISv2.1 Inn-1).

Coir mesh is a heavy duty, lower cost alternative to jute matting. It can be used to stabilise sloped soil banks and swales, helping to retain moisture whilst preventing wind and rain erosion. Coir mesh can also prevent weed growth. Simply place coir mesh over soil and cut for vegetation as required. Mesh will biodegrade over time, enriching soil with added nutrients and structure.

• Highly effective method to control erosion and stabilise soil
• Made from coconut husk fibres, a renewable byproduct of the coconut production process
• Acts as a barrier to prevent soil particles from being disturbed by wind and water
• Helps plants establish and retains moisture in soil
• Releases nutrients into soil as coir fibres slowly biodegrade over time
• Prevents and inhibits weed growth
• 2m x 25m to suit most applications
• 700gsm thick and woven to withstand prolonged UV exposure and high water flow rates
• Can be used in conjunction with other erosion control products such as coir logs, silt socks and silt fences

Silt Curtains provide a waterborne barrier around waterfront civil construction projects, restricting damage from sediment runoff into waterways such as rivers, lakes and harbours.

The Curtain is constructed from a PVC Coated top float chamber using oil resistant, crumble-proof foam blocks – this section is longitudinally reinforced with polyester webbing for extra strength.

A non-woven geotextile skirt below the float chamber restricts water flow and allows the suspended sediment to settle.  A PVC Coated chain pocket is attached to the bottom of the geofabric skirt to provide sufficient ballast to keep it taut.

Applications

Silt curtains are used by construction companies, marine service companies, erosion and sediment control contractors, consultants, councils and state road authorities for projects including:

• Bridge building
• Road widening on foreshore
• Road repairs on foreshore
• Port development
• Dredging
• Jetty development
• Piling
• Foreshore development
• Tailings dams
• Sediment ponds

Stratex can supply the Silt Curtain with the skirt folded and multiple sections connected, up to a length of 100 metres per pallet. This enables immediate deployment of the Silt Curtain when it is onsite.

• UV stabilised materials
• Non woven geotextile dkirt with 90 micron pore size and strong flow rate
• Zipper and ASTM Z-connectors for easy assembly and dismantling
• Reputation for reliable performance and durable construction
• Handles and connectors built-in to assist with rapid deployment
• Reusable when cleaned and correctly stored
• Custom lengths available – contact us for a price
• Available in higher spec options for higher-risk applications
