Grate inlet protection is a best management practice (BMP) that consists of temporary permeable barriers installed in or around a grate inlet to impound and filter runoff and remove sediment. These devices can consist of a variety of products for sediment retention to include rock, straw, geosynthetic, fabric, and wire based solutions.
Grate inlet protection helps keep your construction site compliant with SWPPP regulations to avoid fines. Properly installed and maintained grate inlet BMPs ensure effective drainage and sediment capture to eliminate the need for frequent replacement of your devices.
