SMARTfence - Model 36 -High-Tensile/High-Modulus Woven Geotextile Sediment Fence
SMARTfence® 36 is a heavy-duty High-Tensile/High-Modulus woven geotextile sediment fence designed to replace silt fencing with wire or 12.5-gauge chain-link backed supports and replace proprietary silt fences with attached reinforcing elements. The woven geotextile is specifically designed and fabricated to withstand high-tensile stresses and prevent excessive material elongation and strain. The fence system will resist fence deflection and ultimate failure due to ripping, sagging, or overturning as hydrostatic forces associated with excessive backwater depths and debris flows move against the fence.
The SMARTfence® 36 is a value engineering approach, providing a strong siltation fence equivalent in strength and stiffness to that of wire and 12.5-gauge chain-link backed sediment fencing for less cost, significantly lower carbon emissions during materials manufacturing, and less material waste produced at the end of the service life of the fence. SMARTfence® 36 is also a 100% American-Made product.
Table 1 is a comparison of 14-gauge wire-backing and 12.5-gauge chain-link fence structural characteristics versus the same structural properties for the Smartfence® 36. The Modulus of Elasticity is a measure of material stiffness.
