Silt socks are an effective sediment control solution used to filter silt and sediment from stormwater runoff on construction and civil sites. Installed along drains, curbs, and flow paths, they help prevent soil loss, protect waterways, and support compliance with erosion and sediment control plans. Trade Enviro supplies durable geotextile and reusable silt sock options suitable for a wide range of site conditions across Australia.
