Perimeter Waste / Rubbish Netting
Silt fencing is used to prevent sediment from leaving a construction site.
Effective procedures put in place minimises sediment leaving a building site – preventing sand, soil, cement and other building materials from reaching our waterways.
- Silt fencing should surround the site, and any soil stockpile on the site, to control sediment
- Silt Fence around a stockpile
- Failure to implement strategies to control sediment can result in fines for non-compliance.
The Sediment Control Centre has a range of silt fences that meet the needs of builders and civil contractors. The entire range is constructed of woven polypropylene, with a selvedged edge to prevent fraying and enhance durability.
Silt Fencing around perimeter of site
| Name | Flow Rate | Features | Target Market | Comment |
| Standard SC01 | 30L/sec | Reasonable flow rate & strong construction | Builders | Flow rates are greater than cheaper imports – reducing the chance of damming and subsequent sediment loss. |
| Superior SC02 | 40L/sec | Tension tape & depth indicator | Builders & Civil Contractors | Easier to set up and less likely to collapse than the Standard Silt Fence-higher flow rate |
| Premium SC03 | 110L/sec | Builders & Civil Contractors | Target Market | More ‘freestanding’ than the above, making it easier to erect and more likely to be reused. Higher flow properties can manage steep slopes and areas of potentially high flow. |
