Silt Dikes

A silt dike is a temporary barrier system used to control and manage eroded soils. Silt dikes accomplish this by capturing and containing particles before they contaminate nearby water sources while stabilizing the soil around them.

Silt dikes can last anywhere from a few months to a year depending on the site conditions and the amount of sediment they need to contain. To last longer, sediment dikes should be well-maintained and checked regularly to ensure they are working properly.

The Cary Company offers Ultra-Silt Dikes, which are reusable and can last for extended periods of time when proper maintenance and inspections are kept up. It is recommended to remove the sediment at 50% capacity and to store silt dikes out of sunlight when not in use. Users will know that the sediment dike is full when the restraint cord is no longer visible.

Silt dikes provide three main benefits. (1) Silt dikes include protective aprons, which prevent failure of the structure and provide a wider base for sediment capture compared to other methods. (2) Designed to capture and contain eroded soil parts, silt dikes help maintain water quality and reduce pollution caused by sediment runoff. (3) The flexibility of silt dikes makes them suitable for various environments and situations, including rough and rocky terrain.
