GRC Silt Trap Inlets for Pipes Upto 360mm
Silt traps are an essential element of any efficient surface water run-off system.
Settlement of silt in the downstream system (pipes etc.) can be problematic and result in blockage of the system.
Furthermore, silt often contains sediment bound heavy metals which should be removed from a surface water system to limit downstream pollution.
Our lightweight silt traps are made from glass fibre reinforced concrete, suitable for pipes up to 360mm OD. It is suitable for most situations involving a piped ditch inlet, and is particularly suitable for use with plastic drain pipes.
We offer a two-piece square back GRC silt trap for easy handling in difficult conditions and a curved back GRC silt trap which will accept pipes at a range of angles. These products are ideal for agricultural use. GRC silt traps are supplied with a hinged galvanized metal mesh screen.
