Dewatering Silt Filter That Can Be Hoisted With Track Excavator
(USA)
I am looking for a dewatering silt filter other than a bag or tube
I have seen tanks in use that have disposable nonwoven geotextile fabric draped across them to filter sediment. They have inlets that allow for 2, 3, 4 , and 6" pump hoses and they have an outlet with a valve to control discharge. We need something that can be hoisted with track excavator and can be hauled on a flatbed truck
I am afraid they may be home made. But I believe that the geotextile liners used in them are manufactured. They are like an open box, with a bottom and 4 side walls. They should have an open top.
We would need a varying but continuous supply. We would probably use 100/year. They would need to be fitted to our dumpster that we have not made yet (most likely 8 feet x 16 feet by 2 feet height).
However, if we are designing and making the unit on our own, it may be more economical to allow for the installation of geotextile from a roll.

Thanks for the question. We can absolutely provide a dewatering bag like that. We have them for roll-off containers and can also custom make the filter bags in the quantities you are talking.
The nonwoven fabric is great as it pipes through quite well, howver I do think running soem small bags initially to check you discharge.
I will send you soem info and pricing and we can take it from there.
