WHAT IS SILT FENCE?

  • A silt fence is a temporary sediment barrier

consisting of filter fabric entrenched into the soil and attached to supporting posts.

PROBLEM DEFINITION

  • Common failures are caused by:

– Improper Installation – Incorrect Location – Inadequate Strength

FAESF

  • Failure Avoidance and Effective Silt Fence

Technology

– control undercutting and overtopping – control lateral flow along the silt fence – improve the trapping of fine silts and clays – provide adequate strength posts and fence – provide for adequate bearing capacity of post footings

STATEMENT OF WORK

  • Enviro-Mech will focus on reducing

failure due to improper installation.

  • Dr. Barfield’s team will continue

developing a new filter fence material configuration and support mechanism.

  • Enviro-Mech will design and build a

machine which will create a trench, lay the fence, and backfill the trench.

INVESTIGATION

  • Recommended Silt Fence Practices
  • Current Equipment Patented

and in Production

  • Similar Vibratory Plow Applications

RECOMMENDED PRACTICES

  • Information Concerns

– Trench Dimensions – Fence Location – Post Height – Fence Size

PROPOSAL A TWO-DISK METHOD

  • Two narrow disks

pinch the fabric.

  • The disks feed the

fabric into the slot.

  • Fabric is released

at the bottom of the slot.

PROPOSAL B FEED CHANNEL METHOD

  • Channel will be

attached similar to four-bar linkage currently used.

  • The fence will require

added bulk to bottom edge.

PROPOSAL C TENSION ROD METHOD

  • Spring loaded rod

will guide material through slot.

  • The end of the

rod acts as a pressure point.

TEST AND ANALYSIS

  • Testing is required to determine the most

effective and financially feasible solution. – Methods Testing – Concept Testing – Final Design Testing
