Silt Traps And Catchpits For Attenuation

At the first stage of an attenuation system, a prefilter serves a key purpose in ensuring water quality before it enters the attenuation system (usually a Geocellular attenuation tank). Often a silt trap or catchpit chamber, the prefilter is used to catch debris, improve water quality and prevent blockages further in the system. The requirement of either a silt trap or catchpit chamber is very much dependent on the size and composition of the attenuation system. Generally, a silt trap is more commonly used for smaller, more domestic applications whereas an inspection chamber is more typical in larger, commercial systems.
