Silt/Sediment Fence Installation
Residential and Civil Silt Fence Installation
TERRIX provides complete silt and sediment fencing solutions for residential construction, civil works and major infrastructure projects across NSW and QLD.
From a single residential building site to large-scale developments requiring thousands of metres of fencing, we have the equipment, materials and experience to complete the work safely and efficiently.
What is Silt Fencing?
Silt fencing, also known as sediment fencing or a sediment control fence, is a temporary barrier installed around construction sites to capture and filter sediment-laden stormwater runoff. Made from geotextile fabric supported by timber or steel posts, silt fences prevent soil and debris from leaving your site and entering nearby waterways, drains, or neighbouring properties.
In NSW, the installation of silt fences is required on most civil and residential construction sites under the Blue Book (Managing Urban Stormwater: Soils and Construction). At TERRIX, every silt fencing installation we carry out meets or exceeds these standards.
Benefits of Using Sediment Fencing
Silt fencing is one of the most cost-effective and widely used sediment control measures on construction sites. The benefits of silt fencing include:
- Protects Local Waterways: sediment fencing captures sediment-laden runoff before it reaches stormwater drains, creeks, and waterways, preventing pollution and protecting the surrounding environment.
- Quick and Easy to Install: With the right equipment and expertise, silt fencing can be installed efficiently with minimal disruption to your site and construction schedule.
- Keeps Your Site Compliant: Properly installed silt fencing satisfies NSW Blue Book requirements, helping you avoid fines, stop-work orders, and costly interventions.
- Adaptable to Any Site: Silt fencing can be installed along boundaries, drainage lines, and slopes, making it a versatile solution for civil, residential, and infrastructure projects.
- Supports Sustainable Construction:
By controlling erosion and sediment at the source, silt fencing installation helps your project meet environmental obligations and contribute to more responsible building practices.
