FryeFlow Dewatering Bags are a Best Management Practice (BMP) used to easily filter sediment from turbid water before it is discharged from your work site. Additionally, dewatering bags can be used to disperse water to help prevent erosion.
These versatile bags can be utilized in areas where sediment basins cannot be implemented. Dewatering Bags allow you to avoid costly excavation needed for other common sediment control measures. Perfect for use for construction sites, ponds & lakes, municipalities, industrial sites, trenches, dredging sites, pipeline projects, sumps, spill cleanup, and more. Dewatering Bags are commonly placed in containment vehicles, construction sites, or dump trucks. Simply position dewatering bags in areas where sediment accumulates, such as construction sites, areas with stormwater runoff, or drainage ditches.
Made of a durable, permeable, 8 oz. non-woven geotextile fabric, FryeFlow Dewatering Bags trap sediment, debris and other particles while allowing discharged water to flow out. Simply connect FryeFlow Dewatering Bags to a discharge hose to allow for high volume pumping.
Projects that require excavation may require a dewatering process to be in place. Implementing a dewatering process to remove groundwater allows for safer site conditions for excavation activities by creating a stable, dry site environment.
By using Dewatering Bags as part of your SWPPP, you not only help ensure compliance with environmental regulations but also contribute to protecting water bodies from pollution.
