What Is a Silt Sock?
A silt sock — also known as a sediment sock, geotextile sock, sediment control tube, or erosion control sock — is a permeable geotextile barrier used to filter sediment from stormwater runoff. Silt socks are supplied empty and can be filled with gravel, sand or crushed rock to create a stable, low‑profile barrier that slows water flow and traps soil, sand and debris before they enter drains, gutters, waterways or sensitive areas. They are commonly used on construction sites, civil works and landscaping projects for reliable sediment and erosion control.
Designed to be placed around drains, grates, or at the base of slopes, silt socks help maintain environmental compliance and reduce the risk of polluting local waterways during construction activities.

FAQ
What is the primary purpose of a Geotextile Silt Sock?
A Geotextile Silt Sock is designed to trap sediment, silt, and debris before they enter stormwater drains. It acts as a physical barrier that allows water to pass through while capturing solids, helping prevent environmental contamination.
Where are Silt Socks commonly used?
Silt Socks are widely used on construction sites, roadworks, landscaping projects, earthmoving operations, and around stormwater drains during rain events to reduce sediment runoff.
How are Silt Socks installed and used?
They are placed around drains, grates, or along the base of slopes. Once positioned, they are filled with coarse aggregate so they conform to the ground surface and effectively filter sediment-heavy water.
What materials are Silt Socks made from?
Spillmaster Silt Socks use a durable, UV‑resistant geotextile outer casing that allows water to pass through while retaining solids. This makes them suitable for long-term outdoor exposure.
Do Silt Socks help with environmental compliance?
Yes. Silt Socks support erosion and sediment control plans and align with Safe Work Australia’s hazard‑management guidelines by reducing sediment pollution and protecting local waterways.
