FilterBerm™
Our FiberRootMulch™ compost blend can also be applied as a free-standing berm or ridge instead of within the fabric containment. This allows for more flexibility to accommodate certain site conditions.
Advantages
-
Free-standing berms can be adapted to a wide variety of site situations
-
Can be easily scaled up during installation to accommodate large volumes of runoff
-
If used as a temporary control, the mulch material can be raked out and distributed onsite to amend soil after service life of the berm is over
-
Detains surface-water flows
-
Water-borne sediment retained behind berm
-
Traps, holds, and breaks down petroleum-based, hydrocarbon pollutants
-
Compatible with revegetation
Product Variations
-
Variable size range: Typical applications range from approximately 1 ft. high x 2 ft. wide to 1.5 ft. high x 3 ft. wide.
