A type of soil erosion control Best Managed Practice (BMP)

Inlet protection Products

The Inlet Protection Company, LLC, manufactures a patent pending line of inlet protection products, a type of soil erosion control Best Managed Practice (BMP), for municipal administrations, real estate developers, and construction firms.

The use of inlet protection is common in the construction industry and we are proud to introduce our product as a replacement to inferior and ineffective devices. We aim to be your municipality's or MS4's BMP for the protection of your storm drain inlets and our waterways from soil erosion and floatables (pollution/trash).

Apart from construction, our devices are also being used as a long-term solution by municipalities to minimize the maintenance costs associated with vacuuming clogs out of their Storm Water Infrastructure. The dirty job of cleaning the inlet and catch basin system out has been featured on the Discovery Channel's show Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe.

With all the flooding going on in the east coast, you can only expect more and more construction companies to stress the importance of proper inlet protection.

Erosion Control, and Nanotechnologies (NT)

Erosion Control Forum – Information on erosion control devices and resources Skip to content Abstract Nanotechnology (NT) The National Nanotechnology Initiative defines nanotechnology as understanding and controlling matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. Introduction Nanotechnology offers the potential to effectively treat contaminants in situ, avoiding excavation or the need to pump contaminated water out of the ground. The process begins with nanoparticles being injected into a contaminated aquifer via an injection well. Role of Nanotechnology Nanotechnology plays a crucial role in improving wind turbine performance...

Environmental Issues

Erosion Control Forum – Information on erosion control devices and resources Skip to content Bioventing Description Bioventing is an in situ remediation technology that uses microorganisms to biodegrade organic constituents adsorbed on soils in the unsaturated zone. Bioventing enhances the activity of indigenous bacteria and simulates the natural in situ biodegradation of hydrocarbons in soil by inducing air or oxygen flow into the unsaturated zone and, if necessary, by adding nutrients. During bioventing, oxygen may be supplied through direct air injection into residual contamination in soil. Bioventing primarily assists in the degradation of adsorbed fuel residuals, but also assists in the degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as vapors move slowly through biologically active...

Geogrid

Erosion Control Forum – Information on erosion control devices and resources Skip to content A geogrid is geosynthetic material used to reinforce soils and similar materials. Soils pull apart under tension. Compared to soil, geogrids are strong in tension. This fact allows them to transfer forces to a larger area of soil than would otherwise be the case.[citation needed]. Geogrids are commonly made of polymer materials, such as polyester, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene or polypropylene. They may be woven or knitted from yarns, heat-welded from strips of material, or produced by punching a regular pattern of holes in sheets of material, then stretched into a grid.Geogrid is typically used for soil reinforcement applications such as retaining walls, steepened slopes, embankments, sub-grade stabilization, embankments over soft ...
