Silt Traps And Catchpits For Infiltration

Silt traps serve a key purpose in the perfect infiltration drainage application. Also referred to as a pre-filter, a silt trap is placed up-stream of the void (a soakaway crate wrapped in geotextile membrane) so that stormwater passes through the trap before it is able to enter the soakaway.

As stormwater passes through the trap, any silt, sediment, or litter in the water will be caught and prevented from entering the soakaway. This ensures high water quality, sustainability, and maximum water storage in the crate part of the infiltration system.

Our silt sentinel silt traps are manufactured by Turtle Enviro, who’s sentinel range of products are a leading brand in the construction industry. Each trap is supplied with a lid and a silt bucket, also known as a catch basin, that sits within the trap and can be removed easily removed for maintenance purposes.
