Great Plains Region
Erosion and Sediment Control Solutions in the Great Plains
About The Great Plains Region
The Great Plains region includes some of the most wind-exposed, linear-infrastructure-driven, and energy-intensive construction markets in the country. From highly erodible silty soils to long transmission corridors and expansive open terrain, Great Plains projects demand erosion and sediment control systems that perform reliably under wind, storm runoff, and freeze–thaw conditions.
Siltworm™ and Bioworm™ erosion and sediment control solutions are used throughout the Great Plains to support large-scale infrastructure, commercial development, industrial expansion, renewable energy, and utility corridor projects. Erosion and Construction Services provides installation, maintenance, and removal services aligned with approved erosion and sediment control and SWPPP plans.

Great Plains Soil and Storm Overview
Soil Conditions
- Highly erodible loess and silty soils
- Clay-rich agricultural soils
- Soft disturbed soils in large open sites
- Minimal natural wind protection
Storm & Climate Patterns
- Strong wind exposure
- Intense but short-duration storm events
- Snowmelt runoff
- Freeze–thaw cycles
These conditions increase the need for erosion and sediment control systems that:
- Install efficiently
- Reduce trenching
- Perform under repeated inspections
- Capture fine sediment effectively
Construction across the Great Plains commonly includes:
- Agricultural infrastructure
- Wind and solar energy projects
- Oil and gas pipeline construction
- Highway and transportation expansion
- Industrial and manufacturing facilities
- Commercial and residential development
- Utility and transmission corridors
- Water management and irrigation projects
- Public works and municipal projects
Siltworm™ and Bioworm™ are well suited for these project types and Erosion and Construction Services can assist with all phases of your SWPPP installation.
