Controlling the movement of sediment on building and construction sites is a major requirement for contractors and builders. The movement of sediment off-site during rainfall events can result in blocked stormwater systems and degradation of the local ecology. Sediment control tubes trap sediment and large pollutants before they enter the stormwater system.
Our sediment control tubes can be filled with either sand or gravel and hand placed around the drainage points requiring protection.

Why choose sediment control tubes?
- Effective sediment control by trapping and retaining seditment to prevent it from entering waterways and drainage systems
- Reduces turbidity and improves the quality of runoff water
- Easy to install
- Suitable for various applications, including construction sites and agricultural fields
- Made from robust materials that can withstand harsh environmental conditions
- Helps meet regulatory requirements for erosion and sediment control
INSTALLATION
Geofabrics sediment tubes are typically supplied in 2m lengths or in a 50m roll that can be easily cut to the required length to match the perimeter of the drain or stormwater inlet structure.
APPLICATIONS
FUNCTION
Erosion & Sediment Control
The use of a geosynthetic to prevent soil or other particle movements on the surface slope. Acts to reduce soil erosion caused by wind forces, rainfall impact and surface water runoff. The use of geosynthetics in erosion control is to maintain soil cover either as a temporary measure offering protection from soil loss whilst vegetation is established or as a permanent control measure, typically on steeper slopes or high-water velocity situations.
