Siltworm™ and Bioworm™ are sustainable alternatives to silt fence.
Our filter socks are available nationwide. As the perimeter control solution of choice for thousands of projects each year, they can be found on sites ranging from residential to large commercial to transmission line and everything in between.
Offering contractors a solution that requires less labor and maintenance without the need for trenching or other equipment to install, our filter socks can be found on construction sites from coast to coast.
Our biodegradable fill is made of recycled construction waste, providing cutting-edge filtration that captures up to 97% of sediment while ensuring a controlled water flow rate*.
We have a variety of geotextile netting options and sizes ranging from 8 to 18 inches in diameter and up to 360 feet in length.
*Tri-Environmental testing results using ASTM 7351 standards.

What Our Customers Think
"Silt fence is the ultimate dumpster filler. Often, repairs require full removal and reinstallation. An issue PMs deal with weekly to maintain compliance.
Alternative sediment control measures like Siltworm can be moved and reused at multiple locations. After the product is inevitably destroyed from active construction, the mulch can be spread out as a temp erosion control. Incorporating these types of alternatives into engineering and stormwater plans can help significantly cut costs throughout construction.
Not a paid plug - I have used them on more projects than I can count!"
