Protection
from silt
It’s no secret that silt and mud cause challenges
for roads on construction sites. Silt washes
into manhole chambers in the road leading to
a build-up of dirt and debris in the drainage
system. Road sweepers can make the problem
worse, washing mud into the drains. But the
problem continues below ground, hidden
from view. Clearing the drains out can be an
expensive and potentially risky operation.
“By installing this MuckStopper, and
preventing the soil and sediment and waste
from going into the manhole, what we’re
doing is we’re turning the risk assessment
from what was red, down to green. We’re
eliminating the safety considerations of
having to enter a con昀椀ned space.”
