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 confined space.”
