Best Practices for Erosion and Sediment Control in the Transportation Industry

4/14/2020

 
​The transportation industry is no stranger to the topic of Erosion and Sediment Control. Although they can occur at any time during the construction of a highway, the highest potential for erosion usually occurs during the grubbing, grading and structure installation. Additional factors affecting soil erosion include soil characteristics, climate, topography, rainfall, and vegetation.
Erosion is a natural process that can be fast-tracked by human activities, especially those that that disrupt the soil and alter the natural vegetation of the area. Erosion control best practices are necessary and required during all ground disturbing activity to reduce or treat contamination of water or which prevents or reduces soil erosion. 
 
Erosion control plans must be given attention and importance during any phase a Transportation related project. General recommendations for preventing erosion include:

  • Surface roughening
  • Avoid steep slopes
  • Sediment trapping
  • Duct control
  • Minimize amount of exposed soil
  • Preserve natural vegetative cover or use temporary vegetation
 
All sites should incorporate at least one type of erosion prevention measure when exposed to a ground disturbing activity. Our Envirotac line of dust control polymers are manufactured with the Environment in mind. They are safe to treat soils with and will not harm humans or wildlife.
 
Why should you use Environmental Products & Applications, Inc. as your Transportation erosion and sediment control partner?
  • Cost: Building a road with Envirotac is a fraction of the cost spent using traditional methods.
  • Strength: When a road is constructed with Envirotac it will not need to be maintained near as often as it would with water and gravel.
  • Maintenance: When a road is constructed with Envirotac it will not need to be maintained near as often as it would with water and gravel. 
  • Reduce Permeability: Our Envirotac line of polymers when incorporated into soil will encapsulate the soil particle and bind them together. 
The Envirotac line of polymers have been used to construct roads around the world. Our polymers cross link the soils at a nano level creating a tough durable surface that will stand up to trucks and the daily grind of vehicular traffic.
