9 MUCKSTOPPER
Protection
from silt
It’s no secret that silt and mud cause challenges for roads on
construction sites. Silt washes into manhole chambers in the
road leading to a build-up of dirt and debris in the drainage
system. Road sweepers can make the problem worse, washing
mud into the drains. But the problem continues below ground,
hidden from view. Clearing the drains out can be an expensive
and potentially risky operation.
“By installing this MuckStopper,
and preventing the soil and sediment and
waste from going into the manhole, what we’re
doing is we’re turning the risk assessment from
what was red, down to green. We’re eliminating
the safety considerations of having to enter a
confined space.”
