Silt fence has high failure rates on linear projects. It has always been a challenge from both the performance, and the maintenance aspects.
Road work. Utility corridors. Pipeline right-of-way. These are sites where you are running ESC controls along a continuous grade for thousands of linear feet. Silt fence requires trenching, equipment and a crews. Structural failures persist from sediment and water weight overloading without a form of release other than over the top or through the trench itself. It also fails from external factors like wind, and exposure to UV. In simple principle these are these are common annoyances that drive constructors and regulators crazy.
Silt fence, by design needs constant maintenance. And finally when a project is done and its time to eliminate that think that has annoyed us from the beginning, somebody has to pull it out and haul it to a landfill.
BioWorm was built for exactly these sites.
It is a nature-based filter sock - recycled wood fiber fill inside a hybrid netting designed to do its job and then disintegrate in place when the project is complete. No equipment needed to install. No removal required at the end. The netting disintegrates naturally through exposure to sunlight and rainfall. The fill material goes directly into the ground where it was always meant to end up.
Independent testing per ASTM standards puts Our BioWorm's sediment retention rate at over 95%. It's another leader for us. OEKO-TEX certified netting. 100% made in the USA.
Right now we are moving full truckloads of BioWorm at 36% off customer pricing. Each load keeps 36,000 pounds of recycled construction wood fiber out of landfills. That is not a marketing number. That is the math on what happens when a sustainable product moves at scale.
If you are running a road project, a utility corridor or any linear site and you are still fighting silt fence, Bioworm is worth consideration, and can act as both a cost leader and a SUSTAINABLE solution.
