Silt Fence Installation
Containing Sediment. Protecting the Environment.
At Soil Concepts Inc., our silt fence installations are designed to meet regulatory standards and protect surrounding land and waterways during construction.
Whether you’re working on a residential development or a large-scale infrastructure project, silt fencing plays a vital role in preventing sediment runoff and staying in compliance with erosion control regulations.
What is Silt Fence?
A silt fence is a temporary sediment barrier made of geotextile fabric attached to wooden or metal stakes.
It’s installed along the perimeter of construction sites or disturbed areas to slow water flow and trap sediment before it can leave the site. This helps reduce pollution, protect nearby waterways, and ensure environmental compliance.
When & Why It’s Used
Silt fences are commonly used:
- At the bottom of slopes to prevent soil from washing away
- Around stockpiled soil or disturbed areas
- Along site perimeters, near storm drains, or adjacent to water bodies
- As part of a larger SWPPP (Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan)
They are a cost-effective and highly regulated method of erosion control, especially during the early phases of earthwork and grading.
