Type 1 Silt Barrier to Control Fertilizer Runoff

Puerto Rico

Hi! I need a type 1 silt barrier for fertilizer runoff. We have a channel that contains slow running water. It is about 25 ft wide and the water that is running through it comes from a golf club. It has too much fertilizer in it and need the silt barrier. The depth should be around 3-4 feet.

Greetings to you in Puerto Rico! Thanks for contacting Granite Environmental with your Type 1 Silt Barrier inquiry. I'd be happy to help!

For the type of water in which you are installing the barrier, the Type 1 should be ideal, considering the slow flow. Our standard lengths are 50' or 100' long sections. We can design it at a different length, but it may increase the lead time and price.

Typical Type-1-Silt-Barrier Design Specifications:

• Fabric is 18 oz Vinyl for Standard D.O.T. Silt Barrier

• Barrier is High Visibility Safety Yellow

• Flotation size is normally 6” Marine quality and is dependent on skirt depth.

• Load carrying components are the base fabric (325x300 lbs tensile ASTM) and 3/16” Steel Chain galvanized coated. (3,000 lb. Break Strength).

• The skirt is ballasted to hang vertical in the water by a minimum 3/16” Chain weighing 0.41 lbs per foot.

• Sections easily connect via overlapped reinforced grommets and chains are shackled to each other.

• Section ends are dual seamed, with bolt-rope reinforcement of a minimum of 1/4" inch rope.
