A couple of weeks ago we announced a new product in our Siltworm line-up: High Visibility Orange Siltworm Filter Socks.
Why Orange Siltworm?
Because apparently “Do not run over the BMP” is still too subtle on some job sites.
The Federal Highway Administration figured out a long time ago that visibility changes behavior. In one lane closure study, a changeable message sign resulted in a 46% greater reduction in vehicles remaining in the closed lane, leading to earlier merging, smoother flow, and fewer conflict points and accidents.
At Siltworm, Inc. we bring that same common sense option to construction.
Stormwater controls cannot do their job if they are flattened, buried, or destroyed by equipment, or ignored. The more visible the control, the better the chance it gets noticed, avoided, and left in place to actually work.
That is the idea behind High Visibility Orange Siltworm.
Because protecting water quality should not depend on whether someone happened to notice the BMP at the last second through a dusty windshield.
