SediMax™ Sediment Retention Systems

Unprotected topsoil, particularly on slopes and construction sites, is vulnerable to sediment migration and runoff problems. Significant damage can occur until these areas are ready for permanent erosion control. North American Green’s SediMax™ Systems can prevent much of the damage and save millions spent on restoring slopes, rebuilding drainage channels and dredging ponds and streams.

SediMax-SW (Straw Wattles) are economical alternatives to silt fence and straw bales for sediment control and stormwater runoff. 

SediMax Systems’ products include:

  • SediMax-FR™ Filtration Rolls

One of the most versatile sediment filtration products on the market, SediMax-FR (Filtration Rolls) create temporary, three-dimensional structures perfect for forest fire rehabilitation, bioengineering projects, construction sites, ski slopes, wetland mitigation and other applications where stormwater runoff is a concern. The 100% biodegradable product is made from a 70% straw/30% coconut fiber matrix reinforced with biodegradable netting rolled edge-to-edge.

  • SediMax-SW™ Straw Wattles

SediMax-SW (Straw Wattles) are economical alternatives to silt fence and straw bales for sediment control and stormwater runoff. They can be staked along the contours of newly constructed or disturbed slopes, wrapped around storm drain inlets and used as check dams on slopes and in swales and grass waterways. Straw wattles are made from recycled, compressed, agricultural straw cylinders wrapped in photodegradable netting. The SediMax-SW Straw Wattles are currently available in two standard diameter options; 9 inch and 12inch  diameter wattles.
