SILT FENCE
In order to ensure sedimentation control during construction and to comply with the Resource Management Act and the District Plan it is mandatory to prevent runoff and sediment discharging off site or into the stormwater system.
This is achieved in part by installing silt fence barriers around the perimeter of the earthworks. A silt fence needs to have an adequately high UV resistance for the term required, plus it must meet specific filtration properties.
Syntex silt fence is available in two styles depending upon the performance requirements of the project.
Silt Fence Type 1 (Woven):
A woven product manufactured with slit film yarns.
Identified by a distinctive single orange marker line which runs along the top and bottom of the roll, 150 mm from the edge.
Silt Fence Type 2 (monofilament):
A high flow rate high performance silt fence. It is an engineered premium grade manufactured monofilament to offer optimum tensile, flow and filtration characteristics.
Identified by distinctive twin orange marker lines which run along the top and bottom of the roll. These lines are 150 mm from the edge.
