GuardDog Side-entry Drain Filter 810mmW x 1500mmL

Stratex premium silt socks feature a heavy duty mesh sleeve and is available pre-filled with either scoria or reclaimed recycled aggregate.

A silt sock serves as a simple yet effective sediment and erosion control method. It consists of a fabric mesh sleeve filled with rocks or gravel, and these socks are strategically placed in and around stormwater drains and gutters. Their purpose is to protect waterways and silt and sediment from leaving worksites during heavy rain.

• High Flow Rate 23Ltr/m2/min
• Size: 150mm x 1m
• Easy to install and remove
• Convenient carry handle
• Reusable

Stratex Coir Fibre Logs are made from natural coconut fibre bound by a 100% biodegradable coir fibre netting. Wooden Stake installation is quick and easy with pre-drilled holes. They are ideal for constructing check structures, sediment control, managing changes in stream flow velocity, shaping channels and stabilising banks and shorelines. 
An environmentally friendly solution for bush regeneration projects, coir logs help hold moisture for tree and plant growth whilst providing a structure for vegetation to establish and take hold for long term stabilisation. 

Features

• Pre-drilled holes for quicker and easier stake installation
• Save on installation time and costs
• Uses less wooden stakes on installation
• Higher density fibres for increased performance and life span
• Dimensions: 200mm x 2.4m

Manual Handling Risks with Coir Logs

Some coir logs can be as large as 300mm in diameter and 3m long. On average these weigh over 20kg. They are heavy, cumbersome and usually require two people to unload and install on site. Given their length and weight, there is an increased risk of manual handling injury to operators. Stratex Coir Logs are 200mm diameter, 2.4m in length and weigh under 12kg, allowing safer handling by an individual operator. This unique sizing not only provides the benefit of lower freight cost to site, but more importantly are a safer and easier product to install.

Coir mesh is a heavy duty, lower cost alternative to jute matting. It can be used to stabilise sloped soil banks and swales, helping to retain moisture whilst preventing wind and rain erosion. Coir mesh can also prevent weed growth. Simply place coir mesh over soil and cut for vegetation as required. Mesh will biodegrade over time, enriching soil with added nutrients and structure.

• Highly effective method to control erosion and stabilise soil
• Made from coconut husk fibres, a renewable byproduct of the coconut production process
• Acts as a barrier to prevent soil particles from being disturbed by wind and water
• Helps plants establish and retains moisture in soil
• Releases nutrients into soil as coir fibres slowly biodegrade over time
• Prevents and inhibits weed growth
• 2m x 25m to suit most applications
• 700gsm thick and woven to withstand prolonged UV exposure and high water flow rates
• Can be used in conjunction with other erosion control products such as coir logs, silt socks and silt fences

The GuardDog drain filter offers a revolutionary approach to sediment control. It fits over most stormwater drains to effectively prevent silt, sediment, hydrocarbons and debris from entering our waterways and ocean.

• Traps sediment and hydrocarbons
• Improves water receiving quality
• 100% recycled absorbent media
• 53 micron filtration (0.053mm)
• Absorbs up to 12 litres of hydrocarbons
• Lightweight, low profile and durable

Filtration Innovation

The GuardDog works by using an innovative absorbent media called Spilltration® Husky, which is made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste. The material’s fibres absorb hydrocarbons and trap sediment particles as small as 53 microns (0.053mm), finer than a human hair. Spilltration® Husky also delivers exceptional water flow characteristics due to its unique construction, which allows water to wick through, even when saturated with oil.

Performance by Design

The GuardDog features a heavy-duty polyethylene mesh top for drive over durability. The Spilltration® Husky absorbent media removes and traps oils, fuels, sheens and sediment. A raised centre helps to create a damming effect and improve performance in high flow situations. Overflow port prevents water from backing up in heavy rain events. Eyelets provide a means to secure the GuardDog to metal grates with metal ties or concrete bolts.

Suitable for Most Drain Types

The standard GuardDog drain filter is designed to fit most box and v-grate drains. The side-entry GuardDog is wider and features aluminium strips to contour around most kerb inlet drains with or without grates. Custom sizing is also available by request.

When to use one?

The GuardDog is ideal for protecting drains during construction activity. It can also be used in carparks, manufacturing facilities, waste management, rail yards, refineries. The GuardDog helps to improve environmental compliance and avoid penalty notices.

Installation Versatility

The GuardDog can be installed in a variety of ways. It can be screwed directly into the concrete, secured to drain grates via metal cable ties or using high-powered magnets. See our installation guide to find out more.

Superior to Alternatives

Alternatives such as silt socks and coir logs do not trap hydrocarbons, and drain pollution guards can become overloaded to block drains and cause flooding. Unlike silt socks the GuardDog will not split if driven over – it’s a low profile solution that’s foot and vehicle traffic friendly.

ISC Verified Innovation

The GuardDog drain filter was verified by the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) as Australia-first innnovation for its use on the Monash Freeway upgrade. It is listed on iSupply and may assist in obtaining IS Credits for Receiving Water Quality (ISv1.2 Dis-1 / ISv2.1 Env-1), Diversion from Landfill (ISv1.2 Was-2), Innovation Challenge 8 (ISv1.2 & ISv2.1 Inn-1).
