Storm drain inlet protection controls prevent soil and debris from entering storm drain inlets. These controls are usually temporary and allow storm drain inlets on-site to remain operational prior to permanent site stabilization. Inlet protection is often the last opportunity to provide treatment to stormwater prior to discharge.

Drop Guard is a patented, high performing, low cost and environmentally sustainable approach to reduce sedimentation into unpaved or soft-scape drop inlets. Drop Guard allows water flow-through but reduces velocity while filtering particles.

Drop inlet protection devices are either temporary silt sacks or catch basin filters that restrict sediment and other contaminants from entering storm drainage systems.

Whether above-ground or below-grate, Inlet Protection BMPs help prevent sediment, debris, pollutants, and other particles from entering any storm drainage system. Easily and effectively prevent scour and silt concentration in drop or curb inlets, storm drainage systems and receiving channels with MKB Company BMPs.

A block and gravel type of inlet protection may be used where storm drain inlets are to be made operational before permanent stabilization of the disturbed drainage area. This method of inlet protection applies to both drop inlets and curb inlets where heavy flows are expected and an overflow capacity is necessary to prevent excessive

Not to mention, our reusable drop inlet and curb inlet filters are ideal during construction projects to mitigate nearby water pollution. Both temporary and permanent inlet protection solutions are available. Learn more about our high-quality Inlet Protection products.

INLET PROTECTION – STRAW BALE BARRIER (no.) CODE 863 (Source: IN Handbook for Erosion Control in Developing Areas) 863 - 1 DEFINITION A temporary sediment control barrier formed around a storm drain drop inlet consisting of a row of entrenched and anchored straw bales. PURPOSE The purpose of this practice is to help prevent sediment from ...

For Erosion and Sediment Control STANDARD AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR STORM DRAIN INLET PROTECTION Definition A temporary, somewhat permeable barrier, installed around inlets in the form of a fence, berm or excavation around an opening, trapping water and thereby reducing the sediment content of sediment laden water by settling. Purpose

The FLEXSTORM CATCH-IT system is the preferred catch basin insert for temporary inlet protection, jobsite erosion control, and stormwater filtration. FLEXSTORM CATCH-IT catch basin inserts fit any drainage structure: Curb Inlets, Round Inlets, Drop Inlets and Open throat Inlets are all easily protected with our patented design system.

Sandbags can also be used to create a temporary barrier against sediment at the inlets. Sod can be installed as a permanent soltion to protect the inlet after the surrounding area has been stabilized. This will slow down storm water near the drop inlet entrance, while removing sediments and other pollutants from the runoff.
