Description
The Spillmaster Silt Sock is a cost-effective geotextile sediment control barrier designed to trap silt, soil, and debris before it enters stormwater systems. Ideal for civil construction, roadworks, landscaping, and earthmoving projects, these permeable socks provide a durable physical barrier against erosion runoff while allowing filtered water to pass through freely. Additionally, these sediment socks are widely used on construction sites, civil infrastructure upgrades, and environmental protection zones. They suit site managers, civil contractors, and environmental compliance officers who require a reliable, easy-to-deploy solution for sediment control and stormwater drain protection.

WHS & Environmental Compliance
- Effective Runoff Filtration: Slows water flow velocity around drains and slopes, allowing suspended sediment and silt to settle before reaching stormwater networks.
- EPA & Council Standards: Satisfies local council environmental protection requirements and site Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) plans.
- Duty of Care: Supports proactive environmental risk management and site hazard control in alignment with Safe Work Australia environmental guidelines.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Silt Sock and how does it work?
A Silt Sock (also known as a sediment sock, geotextile tube, or erosion control sock) is a permeable geotextile barrier filled with gravel or aggregate. Placed around drains or along slopes, it filters silt, mud, and sand out of stormwater runoff while letting water pass through.
Where are Spillmaster Silt Socks commonly used?
They are widely used on civil construction sites, roadworks, curb lines, landscaping projects, earthmoving operations, and around stormwater drain grates during rain events.
How are Silt Socks installed and filled?
Silt Socks are supplied empty for lightweight transport. On-site, simply fill the sock with coarse aggregate, gravel, or sand, then position it around drain perimeters, along curb channels, or at the base of sloped land to trap sediment.

Emergency Spill Response: The 5 C’s Guide
- CONTROL the Source & Risk: Ensure appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is donned before approaching any hazardous release. If safe to do so, immediately mitigate the source by closing valves, uprighting damaged containers, or applying emergency plugging to stop further flow.
- CONTAIN the Spread: Deploy appropriate containment barriers, socks, or bunding around the perimeter of the spill to prevent fluid migration. Prioritise blocking access to stormwater drains, unsealed ground, and pedestrian thoroughfares.
- COMMUNICATE the Hazard: Alert nearby personnel, restrict site access around the affected zone, and notify your WHS supervisor or site emergency warden in accordance with facility safety protocols.
- CLEAN UP the Liquid: Apply matching loose absorbents, pads, or pillows directly onto the pooled liquid to capture, bind, and neutralize residues. Safely sweep up saturated materials and transfer all contaminated waste into certified disposal bags for secure handling.
- CHECK & Restock: Inspect the area thoroughly to ensure no residual hazards or slip risks remain. Seal and dispose of waste in compliance with local environmental regulations, and immediately restock equipment to maintain full operational readiness.
