Sediment control socks by Filtrexx are designed to hold back sediment from sensitive areas while allowing water to flow through. The durable mesh socks are filled with material that is designed to control erosion. To conform to nearly any job site the socks are available in widths ranging from 4” to 18” and lengths from 10’ to 200’. These socks are more efficient and easier to install than straw wattles or commonly used silt fences. Additionally, the sediment control socks have been shown to capture more sediment than the traditional methods.

The sediment control socks can be installed on hillsides, swales, on the sides of channels and along drainage ditches.

Sediment Control Socks: Practical Guide + Case Study

SiltSoxx® sediment control socks are a proven, low-maintenance alternative to silt fence for perimeter control, check dams, inlet protection, and slope interruption. Pre-filled compost filter socks install fast (no trenching), filter sediment and pollutants, and stay put through storms—helping crews pass inspections and keep sites compliant.

At-a-glance: Three-dimensional mesh tube filled with compost FilterMedia™; installs up to 3× faster than silt fence; available in multiple mesh strengths (Original, Extreme, Natural); commonly used in perimeter control, check dams, and inlet protection.

Why Choose SiltSoxx® for Sediment Control?

  • Faster to install: Set on grade—no trenching—so crews cover more ground with less labor.
  • Stays in place: The filled, weighted tube hugs the surface, resisting blow-downs and undercutting.
  • Real filtration: Compost FilterMedia™ captures sediment and helps reduce soluble pollutants.
  • Lower lifecycle cost: Less install/maintenance time, simple removal—often just cut the mesh and spread the compost.
Plain English: Use SiltSoxx when you need a quick, reliable BMP that actually filters—not just fences—sediment and stormwater.

Planning, Takeoff & Installation

  • Lengths & diameters: Common sizes include 8–12 in diameters for perimeter control and check dams; confirm with your spec.
  • Spacing & overlaps: Butt ends tightly and stake joints; for check dams, follow spacing by slope/flow (closer on steeper grades).
  • Staking: Drive stakes on the downstream side at regular intervals and at all overlaps/curves.
  • Maintenance: After storms, remove accumulated sediment, re-shape as needed, and replace damaged sections.

Fast Install Workflow

  1. Grade the line; avoid low-spot bypasses.
  2. Place SiltSoxx on contour; butt ends tight.
  3. Stake downstream side and at joints/curves.
  4. Inspect after the first rain; remove captured sediment and re-seat any shifted sections.

Where SiltSoxx® Excel

  • Perimeter Control: Keep sediment on site at the down-slope boundary of disturbed soil.
  • Check Dams: Slow concentrated flows in ditches/channels and reduce downstream erosion.
  • Inlet Protection: Filter runoff before it reaches storm drains.
  • Slope Interruption: Break long slopes into shorter reaches to cut velocity.

Case Study: Subdivision Build-Out—Passing Inspections in a Wet Spring

Challenge: A residential subdivision faced repeated rain events during mass grading. Silt fence kept toppling and undercutting at the site perimeter, triggering re-work and failed inspections.

Solution: The contractor replaced perimeter runs with pre-filled SiltSoxx and added check dams in the main swale. Crews installed 12-in socks on contour, staked all joints/curves, and set closer check-dam spacing in steeper sections.

Outcome: Next inspection passed. Maintenance time dropped (no trenching/rewire), sediment stayed on site, and runoff clarity improved. At project closeout, crews cut the mesh and spread the compost on disturbed areas—no haul-off needed.

Specs (At-a-Glance)

  • Construction: Filtrexx® Mesh™ tube pre-filled with certified compost FilterMedia™.
  • Common diameters: 8–12 in for perimeter/check dams (others available).
  • Product families: Original (general), Extreme (rugged/high-traffic), Natural (biodegradable) options.
  • Core applications: Perimeter control, check dams, inlet protection, slope interruption, sediment traps.

FAQs

Do I need to trench SiltSoxx®?

No. Place on grade and stake properly—one reason installs are significantly faster than silt fence.

How close should check dams be?

Use closer spacing on steeper grades; follow your plan or local BMP guide. Always stake ends and joints.

What happens at project closeout?

Cut the mesh, spread the compost on disturbed areas, and stabilize per spec—fast, low-waste removal.
