Erosion / Sediment Control
 SmartDitch can be used to form defined ditches that can control erosion, catch sediment, and provide superior drainage. Storm water runoff channels help prevent erosion, reduce the risks of structural instability and provide critical drainage for roadways. SmartDitch meets all of these challenges.
High flows in drainage ditches can deteriorate the side walls and flow lines. SmartDitch’s rugged HDPE construction resists the hydraulic forces of the flow and provides a stable channel that will provide years of maintenance-free service.
As a slope or terrace drain, SmartDitch can be used to reduce erosion and be designed as a collector and outlet for the drainage system. SmartDitch’s lightweight design makes it the perfect product to install on these difficult sites.
SmartDitch is also ideal on construction sites with potentially high volumes of loose sediment. A temporary perimeter ditch is installed to catch and retain the sediment before it runs off the site. During the project construction the ditches can be easily cleaned and maintained thus preventing costly fines or project delays.
