Enviro-Ridge is an improved, patented, low-

profile, lightweight, flexible and permeable

plastic check dam for sediment control in ditch

channels.

Enviro-Ridge’s patented transverse flexibility

and unique permeable structure is designed

to emulate natural vegetative filters. In the

absence of grass or vegetation after road and

ditch construction, Enviro-Ridge can provide

a temporary “soft” structure with some of the

beneficial characteristics of grass filters.

Enviro-Ridge’s primary innovation is its

flexibility, which allows it to conform to uneven

ground, offering effective performance across

a variety of ditch shapes and forming a better

“seal” when installed on top of Erosion Control

Blankets.

Enviro-Ridge reduces water velocity by

distributing water over a wider area of the

ditch bottom, facilitating sedimentation

and revegetation. By dissipating energy

and reducing flow velocity, Enviro-Ridge

causes sediment to settle near the upslope

side of each berm. In addition, its triangular

configuration provides a protective shelter for

newly emerging vegetation.

Gradient Spacing

1% 23.0 m

2% 11.5 m

3% 7.7 m

4% 5.8 m

5% 4.6 m

6% 3.8 m

7% 3.3 m

8% 2.9 m

9% 2.6 m

10% 2.3 m

Spacing is based on calculating

the height of Enviro-Ridge

divided by the gradient.

For example: On a 2% gradient,

0.23 m (height of Enviro-Ridge)

/ 0.02 gradient = 11.5 m spacing.

INSTALLATIONWhen installed as a series of berms

perpendicular to flow in ditches and channels,

each berm helps reduce delivery of sediment

to aquatic habitats, acting as a filtration system

that gradually removes sediment and improves

water quality.

Barriers are installed starting at the toe of the

backslope or sideslope, extending up the slope,

with adjacent barriers overlapping a minimum

of 50 mm.Enviro-Ridge Specifications
