Control Sediment Movement Before It Reaches The Watercourse
Silt FencingMurlac Silt Fencing provides a temporary, permeable barrier for controlling sediment-laden surface run-off during groundworks and construction activity. The woven polypropylene geotextile allows water to pass through while retaining soil and sediment before it reaches drains, ditches, streams and other sensitive areas.

A Practical Barrier Between Disturbed Ground And The Watercourse
Silt fencing is installed across the expected path of surface run-off to intercept soil and sediment moving from exposed ground. The porous geotextile slows the flow and allows water to pass through, while larger suspended particles accumulate on the upstream side of the barrier.
Correct positioning is essential. The fence should follow the site contours and run across the anticipated direction of flow rather than directly down a slope. Its lower edge is buried within a compacted trench to reduce water and sediment passing beneath the fabric.
KEY PRODUCT FEATURES
Developed For Effective Site Sediment Control
Murlac Silt Fencing provides a strong, permeable barrier that helps control sediment-laden run-off across exposed sites. UV-stabilised geotextile, burial marker lines and reusable components support straightforward installation, reliable performance and flexible use as projects progress.

Where Silt Fencing Is Used
Silt fencing can be installed wherever disturbed soil may be carried across the ground towards drainage systems or sensitive water environments. The final alignment should reflect the site contours, direction of run-off and available installation area.
Construction & Groundworks
Control soil movement around excavations, compounds and areas of disturbed ground.
Drainage Ditches
Intercept sediment-laden run-off before it enters temporary or permanent drainage channels.
Watercourse Protection
Reduce the movement of soil towards rivers, streams and other nearby waterbodies.
Land & Erosion Control
Provide temporary sediment control during landscaping, seasonal works and land management.
Available As A Complete Kit Or Individual Components
Murlac Silt Fencing can be supplied as individual rolls and installation components or as a complete 100-metre kit. The complete kit includes the following:
One 900 mm × 100 m silt-fence roll
65 treated timber posts measuring 50 × 50 × 1,200 mm
One galvanised nail pack
One protective washer pack
