Fiber Rolls are a high-quality, commercial-grade solution designed to manage and prevent soil erosion effectively. These robust tubular mesh rolls are filled with a specially formulated media that aids in stabilizing topsoil and controlling erosion.

Versatility and Sizes
The rolls come in various diameters, from 4 inches to 18 inches, and lengths from 10 feet to 200 feet, making them highly adaptable for a wide range of applications. The diversity in sizes ensures that they can be customized to meet the specific needs of different project scales and requirements.

Advantages Over Traditional Methods
Compared to traditional methods such as silt fences or straw wattles, silt socks offer significant improvements. They have been proven to capture more sediment and facilitate easier installation, requiring less long-term maintenance. These features make Fiber Rolls a more efficient and cost-effective option for erosion control.

Application Flexibility
They are especially effective on slopes where erosion control is crucial but also perform well around drain inlets, curb inlets, and in receiving channels. Their design allows for installation directly on the ground surface without the need for trenching, greatly simplifying the deployment process.

Weather Resilient Installation
The installation of this product is straightforward and can be carried out under any weather conditions, including freezing temperatures. This resilience makes them an ideal choice for year-round erosion control projects in various climates, ensuring continuous protection against erosion.

Fiber Rolls - (Silt Socks) An Overview:

Silt socks, also called porous fabric tubes, are filled with compost, wood chips, or other organic matter. The socks are placed along the perimeter of the construction site or in areas susceptible to erosion by filtering sediment from runoff water. The water can pass through the fabric while sediment is trapped preventing it from entering storm drains, streams, lakes, and other bodies of water.

The Benefits

Effective Sediment Control:
Filtration - The socks successively filter sediment from runoff water and prevent soil particles from washing away.

Less Erosion – As silt socks slow down the flow of water, they reduce soil erosion on slopes and disrupted areas.

Protecting The Environment:
The Quality of Water – Silt socks do not allow sediment and other pollutants to get into bodies of water.

Supports The Growth Of Vegetation – The organic materials in the silt socks support vegetation growth, for excellent erosion control for a long time.

Flexibility:
Adaptable – These socks can be used in different locations such as around storm drains, along perimeters, and across slopes.

Customized – Silt socks come in a variety of diameters and lengths. They can be designed to fit the requirements or conditions of the site.

Installation And Maintenance:
Easy To Install – The socks only require a few tools and little work.

Low Maintenance – Once the socks are installed, they require very little maintenance. Just check them once in a while and when needed, make replacements.

Low On Costs
Can Be Reused – Silt Socks can be reused many times over, depending on the material. Therefore, you will save on the cost of sediment control.

Less Cleaning Is Required – These socks require less cleaning after use and are inexpensive.

Using Silt Socks At Construction Sites

Devise A Plan:
Make note of the site's perimeters, and check for areas vulnerable to sediment and erosion runoff including drainage channels, and slopes. Determine how many socks you'll need based on the condition of the area and the amount of runoff you expect.

Prepare The Site:
Clear The Site - Remove all debris, rocks, and vegetation in the area where the socks will be placed. Level the ground in the area – Make sure the ground is level so the socks will have a solid platform.

Install The Socks
Place the socks in the chosen area and follow the contours of the land. Also, you can follow the perimeter by placing the socks around the site's edges.

Stakes:
Secure the socks using stakes driven through the socks and into the ground. Place the stakes at intervals around 3-4 feet so the socks will stay in place.

Overlapping:
When connecting two socks, overlap the ends by at least 12 inches, then secure them with more stakes to prevent gaps from forming.

Inspect Then Maintain
Regularly inspect the socks for signs of damage or displacement, especially after heavy rain. Once in a while, remove the buildup of sediment that accumulates around the socks so they will continue to operate properly. If you discover damage when inspecting the socks, make repairs or replace them if they have become clogged or unable to operate properly.

Remove And Dispose Socks
Once the project is over, remove the silt socks and dispose of the fabrics and filters. Restore the site to its natural condition or by the project's regulations.

Proper Maintenance
Regular Inspections -After heavy rain, inspect the silt socks for any signs of damage or displacement.

Monitor Regularly - Perform routine inspections at least once a week to make sure the socks are operating correctly.

Removal Of Sediment
Remove the build-up sediment collecting around the silt socks. This will prevent the socks from becoming buried and unable to work properly. Dispose of sediment in accordance with your local regulations and site requirements.

Repairs And Replacements
You can make small repairs to tears and holes using the right patching materials. If needed, ask your local provider for assistance.

Oversee Vegetation
Encouraging the growth of vegetation will help control erosion and add to the stability of the site. It's extremely important to control weeds and other invasive species that will compete with vegetation by taking away their nutrients and ability to grow.

Constructive Applications
As silt socks are adaptable and used in many different areas, here are some thoughts for constructive applications:

The Perimeters Of Construction Sites:
Installing silt socks around the perimeters of the construction site will stop sediment from moving off the site and contaminating nearby bodies of water.

Protecting Storm Drains:
You can place silt socks around storm drain inlets to filter sediments from runoff water before they can reach the drainage system.

Protecting Slopes And Channels:
Silt socks will stabilize slopes to slow down water and reduce erosion. For channel control, place the socks in drainage channels to stop sediment and keep it from traveling downstream.

Use Stockpiles:
You can encircle temporary stockpiles with silt socks to hold back sediment and prevent erosion.

Restoring The Environment:
In Streambank restoration projects, use silt socks to stabilize banks and cut back on sedimentation.

The Cost Of Silt Socks
The cost of using silt socks will vary depending on different factors:

Material Costs: The cost of silt socks depends on different factors including the kind of material, the diameter, and the length. Biodegradable socks filled with organic material are more expensive than those filled with synthetic fill.

Filters: The filters used in silt socks will affect the price. Compost and wood chips are standard choices.

The Cost Of Installation: The cost of labor for installation can vary depending on the complication of the site and the number of socks needed for the project. Although the equipment required for installation is low, the cost can alter depending on the required tools such as hammers and stakes.

The Cost For Maintenance: The cost for inspections and maintenance might increase labor costs but are necessary for the success of the silt socks.

Replacements: You must factor in the cost of replacement of damaged socks.

The Cost For Disposals: The cost for removal and disposal of silt socks and filters at the end of a project must be brought into the equation.

In Conclusion

Silt socks are adaptable, environmentally friendly, and very successful in controlling sediment and erosion at construction sites offering a physical barrier to filter runoff water, silt socks are very dependable for protecting the quality of water while reducing soil erosion and maintaining the site's consistency and adherence to protecting the environment. These socks are very easy to install and maintain while remaining very adaptable to different site conditions. Silt socks play a valuable part in the construction site's operations. By planning, ahead of time, applying recommended installation requirements, and following proper maintenance practices, silt socks can increase sediment control, guarantee compliance with environmental regulations, and contribute to the overall success of the construction site's projects. Silt socks have become an important part of many projects performed on construction sites because owner's expectations are continually met.
