Abstract: Disclosed are geotextiles configured for moisture management. In exemplary embodiments, a geotextile comprises a plurality of structural elements including one or more yarns, cords, or filament bundles arranged to form a fabric or grid. At least a portion of the structural elements include capillary-active surfaces and/or are configured to promote capillary wicking of moisture along at least one direction of the geotextile. At least a portion of the structural elements include internal void regions configured to maintain hydraulic conductivity under compaction. The geotextile is operable for providing dual-mode moisture transport through both capillary wicking and hydraulic flow thereby allowing for removal and redistribution of water from pavement layers and subgrade soils.

Abstract: Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of woven silt fences including integrally woven pockets for support posts. In exemplary embodiments, a woven silt fence fabric includes one or more integrated pockets integrally woven within the woven silt fence fabric. The one or more integrated pockets are configured for receiving one or more support posts therein. In exemplary embodiments, a woven silt fence comprises the woven silt fence fabric and one or more support posts configured to be received within corresponding ones of the one or more integrated pockets integrally woven within the woven silt fence fabric. The one or more support posts may be configured to be positioned within corresponding ones of the one or more integrated pockets and driven into the ground for supporting the woven silt fence without requiring any fasteners for attachment of the one or more support posts to the woven silt fence fabric.

Abstract: A woven silt fence fabric is configured to have: a tensile strength greater than 140 pounds per ASTM D-4632 in the machine direction (MD); a tensile strength greater than 140 pounds per ASTM D-4632 in the cross machine direction (CMD) per ASTM D-4632; and one or more parameter(s) (per an ASTM test method) in the machine direction (MD) equal or approximately equal to the one or more parameter(s) (per the ASTM test method) in the cross machine direction (CMD). The woven silt fence fabric includes one or more marker yarns having a different color than adjacent yarn(s) to thereby identify one or more of a grade line, an install line, a monitor line, and/or a high visibility line.

Abstract: Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of sediment/erosion/perimeter control devices and methods of making and using the same. In exemplary embodiments, a sediment/erosion/perimeter control device (e.g., a wattle, etc.) comprises a material configured such that the sediment/erosion/perimeter control device is reconfigurable between at least a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the sediment/erosion/perimeter control device has a first size, shape, volume, and/or weight. In the second configuration, the sediment/erosion/perimeter control device has a second size, shape, volume, and/or weight substantially larger than the corresponding first size, shape, volume, and/or weight that the sediment/erosion/perimeter control device has in the first configuration.

Abstract: Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of sediment/erosion/perimeter control devices and methods of making and using the same. In exemplary embodiments, a system comprises a convertible silt fence/scour pad and a wattle. The wattle is integrated with the convertible silt fence/scour pad such that the convertible silt fence/scour pad and the wattle are an integrated, singular, or unitary product. The convertible silt fence/scour pad is deployable in at least a first orientation and a second orientation. In the first orientation, the convertible silt fence/scour pad is generally vertical and/or generally perpendicular relative to the ground or other surface supporting the wattle, whereby the convertible silt fence/scour pad is operable primarily as a silt fence.

Abstract: A woven geotextile fabric utilizes a plurality of yarns including machine direction field yarns, cross machine direction field yarns, machine direction rib yarns, and cross machine direction rib yarns. The plurality of yarns is integrally woven together. The machine direction rib yarns and the cross machine direction rib yarns cooperatively define an integrated geotextile grid integrally within the woven geotextile fabric. The machine direction field yarns and the cross machine direction field yarns cooperatively define fabric areas in a field of the integrated geotextile grid generally between the machine direction rib yarns and the cross machine direction rib yarns.
