Dewatering Sediment Bag

Drain low lying areas on construction sites with the right tools. Dewatering sediment bags can filter both sediment and oil, making them ideal for well-rounded drainage and dewatering operations. Non-woven polyethylene geotextile has a flow rate of 90 gallons per square foot. Even though the Ultra Dewatering Sediment Bag is made from this material, the flow rates of the dewatering product will depend the size of the dewatering bags, which you can see below under 'Specifications.' We carry specific sizes of dewatering sediment bags, but we can accommodate custom sizes on a case-by-case basis. For more information, give our sales team a call at 863-261-8388.

Dewatering sediment bags are economical and effective for dewatering and drainage operations. As water is pumped into a sediment dewatering bag, the pollutants like sediment, oil and silt are captured so clean, filtered water is released. The dewatering sediment bag helps you comply with Stormwater Management Regulation 40 CFR 122.26.

Standard and custom sizes of dewatering bags are available for purchase. The sediment bags can accommodate discharge hoses up to 4 inches in diameter. We also carry an optional hose connector, which makes connecting dewatering bags quick and easy.

On construction sites when draining low lying areas, having sediment dewatering bags that can handle both oil and silt can not only make a difference in protecting the environment, but in protecting you from costly compliance fines. Being able to capture both sediment and oil will keep you in compliance while making sure stormwater runoff from your site doesn't get into storm drains.

In addition to construction and dredging sites, sediment and oil dewatering bags are also used by city and county municipalities in filtering water from a broken water main. Typically, when this happens, the water has flooded the street, picking up contaminants along the way. Before that water gets back into the storm drains or into the water table, it's important that that water is filtered and cleaned up properly in order to keep residents safe and meet environmental protection requirements. These types of emergencies require a quick response, however. Let us help prepare, so your department is ready for when those unexpected emergencies happen.

You can rest easy, knowing that our Dewatering Sediment Bags are an accepted stormwater BMP. They are quality made and will provide reliable performance in containing silt, mud, debris and oils while letting the clean water flow freely (see video below).

Dewatering sediment bags are economical and effective tools to keep your site in compliance. Most dewatering bags only filter sediment and silt from water but these dewatering bags also filter out oils and hydrocarbons.
