Silt Fence Outlet

Patent # 12,060,690

The Silt Saver Silt Fence Outlet is a structurally enhanced device that can be used as a dewatering outlet incorporated into a perimeter sediment barrier or as a stand-alone filter dam to dissipate velocity and retain sediment in concentrated stormwater flow across drainage ways.  Incorporated into the perimeter sediment barrier, it retains sediment and provides controlled stormwater release, thus preventing catastrophic silt fence failure caused by stormwater that can become trapped behind the fence. This prefabricated product is created to replace bulky hardware cloth and gravel. It is easily installed and removed without heavy machinery, is durable, and requires minimal maintenance. It is a multicomponent system with each piece contributing to the performance of the system. The 2 Stage outlet offers a dual purpose design with Stage 1 for greater sediment retention (non-woven filter fabric, closest to the ground) and Stage 2 for controlled stormwater release and filtration (high visibility, high flow green mesh providing > 1100gpm/ft2). Pine chip filled compression tubes held in place with compression stakes prevent undermining. Attached front water seal and rear scour guard prevents scouring that also leads to undermining. It is preassembled and sold as a kit to ensure quality control and consistency of installation.

The kit includes:

• 2 Stage vertical sheet prefabricated with hardwood / oak posts
• Attached front water seal and rear scour guard
• Compression tubes with compression stakes
• Bonding strips with screws (used to attach outlet to perimeter silt fence)

Sourced and made in America
