What Situations Should I Use Silt Bags in?

Erosion Control. When you need to stop banks collapsing, stacking silt bags helps to provide embankment support and helps to ‘shore up’ the land from collapsing.
Controlling Water Flow. Silt Bags when placed help limit and control the flow of water. You can stack Silt Bags and created a channel for water to flow in. By controlling the water flow, you can divert water away from areas that need to be protected.
Sediment Reduction. Silt Bags can be deployed to protect areas of loose sediment, or capture loose sediment when water is flowing. Sediement is captured and snagged on the bag, instead of the ground surface further down.
Temporary Bund. Using Silt Bags to anchor down a plastic bund can help protect from spillage or spills seeping.
Idea for construction, landscaping, road works and any situation that requires erosion support or control.
