Specialist silt fence fabric installed with its lower edge buried in the ground to help control sediment pollution from construction site stormwater run-off.
The Problem
Construction, forestry and agricultural work can leave soil exposed and vulnerable to erosion. Rainfall can carry loose sediment, debris and other pollutants into nearby land, watercourses and drainage systems.
As ground often remains exposed throughout the work, managing surface water run-off is essential to help prevent silt from leaving the site and affecting the surrounding environment.
The Solution
Terrastop™ Premium is a high-quality, permeable filter fabric developed to manage silt-laden surface water run-off. Installed as a vertical fence with a buried lower edge, it intercepts and slows run-off, allowing sediment to settle while filtering water through the fabric.
Terrastop™ Premium and HighFlow silt fences provide a practical, cost-effective approach to reducing sediment pollution from construction, forestry and agricultural sites. Terrastop™ Basic provides a budget-friendly alternative for smaller, low-risk applications, such as suitable domestic projects.
Silt fencing can help contain sediment from exposed ground and soil stockpiles. Its effectiveness depends on selecting the appropriate fabric, positioning and installing the fence correctly, and maintaining it throughout the work.
Terrastop™ has been used in research examining sediment control in agricultural and forestry settings, including work at the James Hutton Institute and the University of Edinburgh.
Which Terrastop™ grade should I choose?
| Grade | What’s the difference? |
|---|---|
| Basic | A budget-friendly option for small, low-risk projects, including domestic work. |
| Premium | A heavier fabric with smaller filter openings and fibrous yarn for finer filtration. Offers greater puncture resistance than Basic. |
| HighFlow | Allows water to pass through much faster than Basic or Premium, with the highest tensile strength in the range. Choose where greater water permeability is required. |
Premium prioritises finer filtration, while HighFlow prioritises faster water flow. Select the grade to suit your site’s ground conditions and sediment-control requirements.
