ERTEC Environmental Systems products

ProWattle is a high performance, low cost and environmentally sustainable approach to protect slopes from erosion, to protect perimeters in low traffic environments and to protect low flow channels from erosion. Unlike fiber rolls, ProWattle tends to spread rather than concentrate flow. Installation is very fast and ProWattle is quickly and easily reused. Because it packs nearly 10 to 12 times as dense as wattles, it provides dramatic labor and logistical cost savings. ProWattle allows water flow-through, reduces water velocity and provides particle filtering. A better alternative to wattles or fiber rolls. Can be used wherever wattles are specified.  Made from recycled post-consumer or post-industrial content (92%). Recyclable as HDPE at the end of life.

Perimeter Guard is a tested, patented, high performance and low cost system designed to provide effective sediment control on or around home building sites.  Perimeter Guard is an important part of a comprehensive best management approach for sediment control. PG allows water flow-through while at the same time provides particle filtering. PG is designed for high traffic environments where vehicular and foot traffic over the BMPs is routine. Perimeter Guard is made from durable and recyclable HDPE.

Edge Guard is a patented, high performance and low cost solution to protect small drainage areas. Installation is very fast and Edge Guard is easily removed without disturbing landscaping. Edge Guard is an important part of a comprehensive Best Management Practice for soil stabilization and re-vegetation. Edge Guard can be used for traffic islands, new home lots after final grade, small drainage areas or perimeters with new sod, mulch, topsoil, around field drain inlets, etc. During the period between final grade and landscaping, traditional BMPs usually cannot be used. Edge Guard allows water flow-through, reduces velocity and provides filtering. Edge Guard is made from durable and recyclable HDPE.

Hard Surface Guard is a patented, high performance and cost effective system to provide sediment control on hard surfaces on or around construction sites. Hard Surface Guard is an important part of a comprehensive best management practice system. Hard Surface Guard is designed to flex back and forth in traffic environments and can be reshaped after deformation. The system can be anchored with masonry nails, bonding agents or gravel bags and easily removed when the project is completed. The system is highly reusable. Underflow is controlled by a long lasting geotextile gasket. The system allows water flow-through and significantly reduces velocity while at the same time provides particle filtering. It is made from durable and recyclable HDPE.

Combo Guard is a patented, low cost, four-layer system designed to reduce sedimentation into combination curb & grate inlets. It is an important part of a comprehensive best management practice approach for site sediment control. The integrated filter has a vertical height of 2 inches to allow water to bypass for high flow conditions. The system installs above ground for easy installation, visual inspection and maintenance. Fits most combo storm drains. Resists vehicular traffic. The system is easy to install and clean, has a long life, is resistant to construction site traffic, and can be reused. The units are made from durable and recyclable HDPE.

Curb Inlet Guard is a patented, low cost system which reduces sedimentation into curb inlets.  The integrated filter has a vertical height of 2 inches to allow water to bypass during high flow events. The units are made from durable and recyclable HDPE with built-in brackets to keep them from collapsing into the storm drain. Curb Inlet Guard modules can be overlapped as needed to fit all size openings. The system is easy to install, easy to clean, has a long life and can be reused.  Hydrocarbon absorption option:  Curb Inlet Guard can be fitted with an oil absorption jacket for projects with new asphalt applications.  See separate data sheet and installation instructions.

GR8 Guard is a patented, low cost system designed to reduce sediment flow into grated storm drain inlets in paved areas. The integrated filter is designed for high flows. The outer berm allows water to rise to nearly I.5 inches before reaching the filter – causing heavier particles to settle. The system filters storm water and settles sediment above the ground easing visual inspection and maintenance. The system is easy to install, has a long life, is resistant to traffic, and reusable. During installation or cleaning, the grate does not need to be removed, speeding installation and reducing installer injuries.

Made from recycled post-consumer or post-industrial content (92%). Recyclable as HDPE at the end of life.

Ditch Guard is a patented high performing and low cost approach to protect roadside ditches, swales, and channels from erosion and sediment loss. Ditch Guard acts like a check-dam to slow concentrated flow to reduce flow velocities and downstream erosive energy. Installation is fast and Ditch Guard is quickly and after vegetation is established is easily removed and reusable. Ditch Guard is an important part of a comprehensive Best Management Practice system for soil stabilization. Ditch Guard is made from durable and recyclable HDPE and available in 5 inch and 9 inch heights.
