Silt-Saver

Silt-Saver® is a temporary storm drain system inlet protection device specifically designed for yard-type basins and riser pipes. Silt-Saver filters most construction site pollutants from stormwater runoff before they enter the drain system. Whether placed at finish-grade inlet elevation or on riser pipes of deeper fill sections, this product minimizes debris, coarse to medium sized soil particles and trash movement into storm drains. And, it keeps these pollutants above grade - where they can be removed, thereby maintaining sedimentation capacity and storm flow movement into the drain system.

With finish grade applications, the sturdy polyethylene ‘frame’ prevents system failure with ponded water pressure, unique to yard drain inlet protection systems. The filtration ‘hat’ uses a nonwoven geotextile on the lower skirt and an open-weave, orange mesh on top. This duplex of materials offers better filtration for standard flows and an overflow mechanism, with some filtration intact, for extreme events. The orange mesh alerts equipment operators of Silt-Saver’s position and the entire frame-hat design negates the need for stakes, improving site safety for all personnel.

When placed directly on riser pipes, all of the above described benefits continue. In addition, stormwater drainage and sedimentation control can exist at all levels of deep fill operations. Silt-Savers placed after each riser pipe section enables the storm drain system to function in removing stormwater throughout the filling process, reducing or preventing ponding and its consequences: increased soil moisture, poorly compacted fill soils and post-construction settlement in and around the manholes or inlet structures. The combined and unique capabilities of Silt-Saver make it both functional and economically preferred for many yard-drain inlet applications.
