Product Introduction
Filter Socks / Snake Bag
Tubular mesh socks filled with compost, aggregate or filter media. Because a filled sock conforms to the ground surface, it can be laid on pavement or hard ground where a trenched silt fence cannot be installed at all.
Strengths
- Conforms to the ground — no trenching required
- Can be installed on pavement and hard surfaces
- Filters runoff while slowing flow velocity
- Repositioned and reused as work areas move
Function
- Sediment retention
- Runoff filtration
- Flow velocity reduction
Applications
- Perimeter control on paved or hard surfaces
- Inlet and curb protection
- Check dams in swales and channels
- Slope interruption
