Silt Warden - Multiple Sizes

The Silt Warden is purpose-built to safeguard stormwater systems during infrastructure development, particularly in road construction projects. It helps reduce the risk of blockages within drainage systems. This solution is most effective when implemented during the initial phases of construction and landscaping.

Features:

• Civil and commercial construction sites
  
• Roadwork and highway projects
  
• Mining and resource sector operations

Use Cases:

• Stormwater protection on construction sites to prevent sediment runoff during earthworks and excavation
• Road and highway projects to reduce debris and silt entering drainage systems during paving or grading
  
• Mining site runoff control where heavy machinery and loose soil increase the risk of sediment-laden water
  
• Landscaping and subdivision developments to manage sediment movement in early project phases
  
• Industrial facility maintenance or expansion where exposed soil could impact surrounding stormwater drains

Installation

The Silt Warden is easy to install. It is sized to fit a standard drain pit. You simply lift the grate, fit the silt trap in the pit and use the grate to hold it in place. Reinforcement can be achieved using zip ties to attach the handles to the grate.

Maintenance

Once installed the device and the pit should be inspected both on a regular basis and after rain events. Once the Silt Warden has reached capacity it can be removed using lifting equipment such as a forklift or small crane. It should then be responsibly disposed of according to local regulations.
