Erosion & Sediment Control - Introduction

Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines: Field Guide for the Resource Industry This field guide outlines the guidelines for placement of erosion and sediment control materials and details the various types suitable for applications typical of resource industry construction. Attached are corresponding drawings, referenced in the text, that relate to these descriptions.

Erosion Control BMPs BMP = Best Management Practice Key Point: The most efficient and economical method of controlling sheet, rill and raindrop impact erosion is to establish vegetative cover from seed. Vegetation can reduce erosion by more than 90% by protecting the soil from raindrop impact and sheet erosion. When erosion control BMPs are implemented and maintained, the amount of sediment associated with runoff waters can be dramatically reduced. Whenever possible address erosion control first, and sediment control second. If soil is exposed, tracking of the slope site is recommended, with track lug impressions being placed perpendicular to the anticipated direction of water flow. Some important points to remember: •

Vegetative cover is the primary erosion control practice.

• Retain existing vegetation by minimizing disturbance and scheduling large land disturbances during periods of expected dry weather. •

Establish cover immediately after disturbance (staging).

•

Temporary erosion control is usually achieved by seeding with fast growing annual grasses and/or protecting the soil with mulch.

•

Permanent erosion control usually involves planting perennial grasses, shrubs, and trees. Key Point: The selection of the right plant material for the site, choosing the correct mulching technique and proper seedbed preparation are critical for effective erosion control. Surface roughening, contour furrows, and stepped slopes are essential to establish vegetation.

Erosion & Sediment Control - Introduction

Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines

Costs: Non-structural erosion control practices are generally more cost-effective than sediment control. For example, the cost of temporary seeding one acre would be comparable to the cost of installing 200 LF of silt fence (for a 1 acre drainage) or equivalent to the cost of constructing a temporary sediment trap designed for a one acre drainage. However, the practice of temporary seeding would probably be more effective while the silt fence and sediment trap will require regular and costly maintenance. Key Point: Erosion control is, generally, more cost-effective than sediment control and requires less maintenance and repair.

Sediment Control Sedimentation is the deposition of soil particles that have been transported by water or wind. The amount of sediment produced during construction is directly proportional to the degree and effectiveness of erosion control practices implemented. The quantity and size of the particles transported increases with the velocity of the runoff. Sediment control is used to keep sediment, the product of erosion, on-site. Sediment control structures allow sediment to settle out of suspension and require frequent inspection and maintenance. Sediment is retained on-site by two methods: a) slowing runoff velocities, as they flow through an area, sufficiently so that sediment cannot be transported, and b) impounding sediment-laden runoff for a period of time so that the soil particles settle out. Sediment controls are not filters. Practices referred to as “sediment filtering” work by slowing velocities and allowing sediment impoundment to de-water in a very slow and controlled manner. For effective sediment control planning and design, materials such as geotextiles, silt fences, and straw bales should be considered for their ability to impound water and slow runoff velocities, not for their ability to “filter” sediment. Key Point: Effective sediment control involves ponding sediment-laden runoff long enough for the soil particles to settle out of suspension. Reducing runoff velocities will also reduce sediment transport and thereby help retain sediment on-site. www.BrockWhite.ca

Erosion & Sediment Control - Introduction

What are effective sediment control BMPs?

Key Point: Structural sediment control can be divided into three general types;

1) sediment basins,

2) sediment traps, and

3) sediment barriers.

Temporary Sediment Basins are recommended for the outlet of disturbed drainage areas ranging from 5 ac (2 ha) to 100 ac (40 ha). Sediment Basins should be designed by a qualified professional. Consult local guidelines for erosion and sediment control.

Excavated Sediment Traps require less rigorous design work, are smaller in size and are easier to construct, therefore, a preferable alternative is to sub-divide large projects into smaller sub-areas (less than 5 acres) and utilize numerous sediment traps. Multiple traps and / or additional volume may be required to accommodate site specific rainfall and soil conditions. This approach may facilitate phased construction along relatively narrow highway right of way. Excavated Storm Drain Inlets are small excavated sediment traps located at storm drain inlets and are effective as part of phased construction. The design capacity of excavated inlet sediment traps shall be 67 yd3 / acre (1800 ft3 / ac) of contributing drainage area. These excavations are temporary and they are not very effective for trapping small particles (silt and clay). They should not be used where runoff velocities are high. Sediment Barriers are BMPs that are intended to separate sediment from sheet flow runoff. They function by reducing runoff velocity and ponding small quantities of storm water. Sediment barriers are only intended for areas experiencing sheet flow and they must be installed in areas that can pond water and accumulate sediment and, most importantly, they must be accessible for cleanout. Sediment barriers are the most common type of practices used on construction sites. • Sediment Barriers • Silt Fence • Straw Wattle or Sediment Log A-4

• Continuous Berms • Storm Drain Inlet Barriers

Erosion & Sediment Control - Introduction

Principles of Erosion and Sediment Control Severe erosion is caused by the action of wind, rainfall, and runoff on bare soil. Clearing, grading, and other construction activities remove the vegetation and compact the soil, increasing both runoff and erosion. Excessive runoff causes gully erosion, increased streambank erosion, and increased off-site erosion, sedimentation and flooding problems. Effective erosion and sediment control can be achieved by careful attention to the following principles: • Protect the land surface from erosion. • Manage runoff and keep velocities low. • Capture sediment on-site. • Include erosion and sediment control with the construction schedule. • Inspect and maintain the erosion and sediment control practices. The following are principles for controlling erosion and off-site sedimentation from construction sites: • Fit the development to the existing topography, soils, and vegetation as much as possible. • Schedule construction operations in order to minimize soil exposure during the rainy season. • Minimize disturbance and soil exposure by retaining natural vegetation, adopting phased construction techniques, and using temporary cover. • Vegetate and mulch all denuded areas to protect the soil from winter rains. The primary effort for controlling sediment pollution from construction sites should be to minimize raindrop impact on bare soil. • Utilize proper grading, barriers, or ditches to minimize concentrated flows and divert runoff away from denuded slopes or other critical areas. • Minimize the steepness of slopes and control the length of slopes by utilizing benches, terraces, contour furrows, or diversion ditches. • Utilize riprap, channel linings, or temporary structures in the channel to slow runoff velocities and allow the drainage-ways to handle the increased runoff from disturbed and developed areas. • Keep the sediment on-site by utilizing sediment basins, traps, or sediment barriers. • Monitor and inspect sites frequently to assure the measures are functioning properly and correct problems promptly. www.BrockWhite.ca

Erosion & Sediment Control - Introduction

Vegetation as a Solution Dense, healthy vegetation and the associated leaf litter protects the soil from raindrop impact. Raindrop impact is a major force in dislodging soil particles which then allows them to move downslope or form a crust on the soil surface. When a crust forms on the soil surface the rainfall infiltration rate decreases and runoff increases. Vegetation also protects the soil from sheet and rill erosion. It shields the soil surface from the transport of soil particles and scour from overland flow (sheet flow) and it decreases the erosive energy of the flowing water by reducing velocity. The shielding effect of the plant canopy and leaves is augmented by roots and rhyzomes that hold the soil in place, improve the soilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical condition, and increase the rate of infiltration, further decreasing runoff. Plants also remove water from the soil through transpiration, thus increasing its capacity to absorb water. Suitable vegetative cover provides excellent erosion protection and reduces the need for high cost, low efficiency, high maintenance sediment control measures. Vegetative cover is relatively inexpensive to achieve and tends to be self-healing; it is often the only practical, long-term solution of stabilization and erosion control on most disturbed sites. Initial investigation of site characteristics and planning for vegetation stabilization reduces its cost, minimizes maintenance and repair, and makes other erosion and sediment control measures more effective and less costly to maintain. Permanent erosion control (post-construction landscaping) is also less costly where soils have not been eroded. Exposed subsoils are generally difficult to amend, infertile, and require more irrigation. Natural, undisturbed areas can provide low-maintenance landscaping, shade, and privacy. Large trees increase property values when they are properly protected during construction.

Erosion & Sediment Control - Introduction

Vegetation as a Solution Besides preventing erosion, healthy vegetative cover provides a stable land surface, reduces heat reflectance and dust, restricts weed growth, and complements architecture. The result is a pleasant environment for employees, tenants and customers, and an attractive site for homes. Property values can be increased dramatically by small investments in erosion control. The final landscaping represents a small fraction of total construction costs, but can contribute greatly to an increased market value of the development. Healthy vegetation and planned development will reduce concentrated flows and peak discharge, thus reducing channel erosion and flooding. Good, healthy vegetative cover greatly reduces the environmental impacts that poor water quality and habitat reduction is having on rivers and streams.

Profile Products - 5 Fundamentals™

Profile Products- 5 Fundamentals™ Establishing sustainable vegetation and receiving the earliest possible Notice of Termination (NOT) are the goals of every project. Profile’s 5 Fundamentals™ are the surest way to get you there. Integrating them into a process that entails proper planning and execution takes the guesswork out of crucial decisions. The ultimate advantage is success on the projects you undertake. Of the 5 Fundamentals, the first is key. Having the correct foundation in place from the start makes all the other choices you make that much easier and effective. 1. Assessing and Creating Optimal Soil Conditions Soil testing provides essential information to determine what adjustments, if any, need to be made to assure a more favourable growing environment for faster, more complete vegetative growth and sustainable establishment. 2. Picking the Right Plant Species It is essential to select plant species that are adapted to project locations, site conditions, intended use, project seasonality and maintenance requirements. 3. Selecting the Correct Erosion Control Material The right cover is necessary to protect both seed and soil, taking into account the erosion control product’s effectiveness, ability to facilitate growth and the functional longevity required for that protection. 4. Ensuring Proper Installation Installing these products in accordance with the manufacturer’s mixing and application guidelines will maximize their performance to meet project requirements. 5. Follow-up Inspections and Maintenance Practices Continually monitoring how projects are progressing is the best way to make sure all site requirements and compliance issues are being addressed. Maintenance may be required to mitigate unexpected challenges. Healthy soil is the necessary infrastructure to support and nurture vegetation. Once vegetation is established, it then grows and flourishes through nutrient cycling—the movement and exchange of organic and inorganic matter back into the production of living matter. Once you understand your soil, you can work toward building the proper soil composition and profile to promote nutrient cycling.

Profile Green Armor

Profile Green Armor System Revolutionary System— Unprecedented Results: Designers need to know TRM performance limits in vegetated and unvegetated conditions. The GreenArmor™ System has been comprehensively evaluated at the world renowned Colorado State University (CSU) Hydraulics Laboratory. All testing was conducted according to ASTM D6460-12 protocol—“Determination of Rolled Erosion Control Product (RECP) Performance in Protecting Earthen Channels from Stormwater-Induced Erosion.” Vegetated Results: The GreenArmor 7020 System has been scrutinized for its performance with both cool season (Kentucky Bluegrass) and warm season (Bermuda Grass) species. Both species were seeded and established in portable planter boxes that were placed into a hydraulic flume at a fixed slope of 50 percent (2:1 H:V). The reinforced vegetation was then subjected to a series of increasing water discharge rates. Close monitoring of the severe conditions proved the reinforced warm and cool season grasses resisted extreme flow velocities and shear stresses—a testimony to the strength, dimensional stability and true root reinforcement provided by the GreenArmor System. Further, High Performance GreenArmor R45 was evaluated with Bluegrass under the same conditions and demonstrated even higher levels of performance. Unvegetated Results: The objective of unvegetated testing is to measure the ability of an RECP to resist soil erosion prior to vegetative establishment. The unvegetated GreenArmor System was installed within an indoor flume above a one-foot thick soil layer and subjected to increasing flow discharges. This research demonstrated the unique properties of Flexterra® HP-FGM™ to physically bond to the soil surface and create a barrier to overland flow; resisting soil erosion and holding seeds in place. The GreenArmor 7020 System produced the highest unvegetated critical shear stress and velocity ratings reported in the industry—easily outperforming other TRM products.

AEC - American Excelsior Company®

Curlex® Sediment Logs Curlex® Sediment Logs use the same curled, barbed excelsior fibers as Curlex blankets to reduce hydraulic energy and filter sediment-laden runoff. Sediment Logs contain Curlex fibers in an outside open weave netting, are tubular in shape, and are not designed to pond water. Because they are lightweight and porous, the fibers filter water flow through its matrix, acting as an energy dissipation device to slow velocity, and then collect sediment on its upstream side. These useful logs can save the contractor time and money by their ease of installation, ability to contour to the terrain, maintenance of intimate contact with the soil surface, and most importantly, they actually work!

AEC’s E-Staple is a 100% biodegradable turf staple. E-Staples are the result of years of research and development that have produced the most unique turf staple available today. E-Staples are resistant to humidity, which means they will not soften during storage. They breakdown faster in more fertile soils and their physical design provides superior holding power as compared to steel wire staples and other available biodegradable staples.

AEC Premier Straw Wattles AEC Premier Straw Wattles are tubular products consisting of straw fibers encased in polyethelene netting. AEC Premier Straw Wattles are placed on hillslopes to break up slope lengths and overland slow.

Curlex® CL Blankets Curlex® CL blankets consist of unique softly barbed, interlocking, curled, Aspen excelsior fibers. They are 100% free of any seeds and are specifically designed to promote ideal growing conditions for seeds, while simultaneously protecting topsoil from wind and water erosion. Curlex® blankets are designed with a built-in swell factor - wet curled excelsior fibers slightly expand in thickness and interlock to form a strong fiber matrix. This allows the fibers to provide intimate contact with local terrain. Water flow is trained to follow the curled fiber matrix. The roughness of the curled excelsior matrix slows the velocity to a point where gravity takes over, which allows moisture to slowly seep into the topsoil to promote ideal growing conditions.

Curlex® Blankets Curlex® blankets are available with a variety of environmentally sensitive and/or stronger netting types to match job site requirements. We offer a green colour-coded plastic netting for applications requiring UV resistance, strength, and longevity. Our photo-degradable Quick Mow™ netting is recommended for urban, golf course, and some roadside projects. It is colour-coded (white) to identify it as a rapid breakdown, polypropylene netting designed for use in areas to be mowed. Also available is our FibreNet™ - 100% biodegradable netting - for use in critical environmentally sensitive areas.

Curlex® NetFree™ Curlex® NetFree™ is a 100% biodegradable erosion blanket. Using the unique interlocking, curled, Great Lakes Aspen excelsior wood fibers stitched together with a 100% biodegradable thread allows the blanket to be manufactured without the use of plastic or jute nettings. Depending on job site requirements, the Curlex® NetFree™ blanket can bring a higher performance characteristic to your job site over conventional mulch mats, blown straw with plastic netting, or other single net straight fiber blankets. Curlex® NetFree™ excelsior blankets are available individually wrapped or in master packs to allow for mechanical unloading and stacking. A - 20

Curlex® RoadRunner™ RoadRunner™ is a patented system designed to allow one person to mechanically unload a flatbed of blankets on-site in less than one hour. After unloading, just change to the installation mode and install with the most labor efficient system available. All you need to install RoadRunner™ ECBs is one operator and two to three persons to staple the blankets. RoadRunner™ installation equipment allows you to minimize crew size and maximize labor efficiency by installing wider and longer ECBs. RoadRunners™ allow for a fast, smooth installation. Available colors are natural Aspen or QuickGRASS® (dyed green) for urban aesthetics.

Curlex® Heavy Duty Blankets Heavy Duty Curlex Blankets, for long-term protection against wind and water erosion, are a natural choice in place of stone or riprap in swales, ditch bottoms, and on long, steep slopes.

Recyclex® TRM & Recyclex® TRM-V Recyclex is the first permanent erosion control mat made from 100% recycled post-consumer goods - green or brown bottles. There are 20 bottles in every pound of Recyclex turf reinforcement mats (TRMs). American Excelsior Company invented the first biodegradable blanket, Curlex®, and have done the same with recycled fibers to create Recyclex. Not only is Recyclex environmentally responsible, it is designed to meet your most difficult erosion control challenges. For long-term permanent erosion control, Recyclex is the answer.

Lightweight and easy to handle, you can rely on AEC Premier Straw to hold its own in the everyday basic ECB applications.

Premier Straw/Coconut™ & Premier Coconut™ AEC Premier Straw/Coconut blend and AEC Premier Coconut ECBs are designed for mid to long-term erosion protection and vegetation establishment on slopes, channels, and shorelines. AEC Premier Straw/Coconut ECB combines 70% straw with 30% coconut to create a longer life ECB than standard AEC Premier Straw® ECBs. The 100% AEC Premier Coconut ECB will provide a longer life, degradable ECB for severe applications or where special grasses need long-term protection. Both of these Premier products have longer duration, photodegradable, UV enhanced nettings on both sides. Our FibreNet™ - 100% jute netting - is available for environmentally sensitive areas while maintaining performance standards.

100% Biodegradable Options The importance of using 100% biodegradable products is paramount with the environmental concerns and regulations we face today. Environmentally sensitive areas, shorelines, rivers, lakes, and streams are some of the focal points for protection erosion control applications, which may require a 100% biodegradable solution. Keeping soil on site is a concern for many engineers, developers, and contractors. Proper erosion control is important when working with a disturbed site. Selecting a product that fits the design parameters is crucial for a favorable outcome.

Silt fences are manufactured from permeable geosynthetic materials, typically fastened to wooden posts, but also available in other types and styles. Properly installed and maintained silt fences will contain silts within disturbed areas, preventing contamination of adjacent lands and preventing the need for costly clean up. Silt fences should be considered a component of your ESC BMP, designed to be used in conjunction with other products to help you meet your regulatory requirements. Brock White is pleased to introduce two new silt fence styles to our product line. Available in 18”, 36”, 48”, 60” and 96” widths, these highly UV stabilized fabrics are designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions. All three versions are manufactured in Canada to meet AASHTO M-288 standards for silt fence usage. The high-grade 600G version is fabricated with reinforcement strips at 8” intervals to offer superior fastening to posts and to maintain higher wind resistance. All versions are available in master rolls of 1640 ft. or fabricated with wood posts or wire reinforcement for added stability. For more information, contact your local Brock White branch or visit our website at www.brockwhite.ca. Silt fences are temporary sediment control devices, typically used for perimeter control around a construction site or soil stockpile, or adjacent to sensitive habitats.

Turbidity Curtains

Turbidity Curtains Floating Silt Containment Barriers Turbidity curtains (also known as turbidity barriers or silt curtains) are â&#x20AC;&#x153;in-water silt fencesâ&#x20AC;? that are designed to restrict, or prevent the migration of suspended sediments in a body of water. Turbidity curtains are manufactured to site-specific requirements, taking into account such variables as depth and length of the curtain, required permeability of the skirt, water flow rate, length of time the curtain is to be utilized, and tidal or current specifics. Turbidity curtains are used when there is the potential for construction to cause sedimentation of an adjacent water body. They are also an excellent barrier for dredge and dragline operations in open water. The floats provide effective containment for floating debris, and with the addition of an oil absorbent float can contain hydrocarbons and other surface contaminant. Turbidity curtains consist of a heat sealed, high strength PVC coated polyester floatation cover enclosing closed cell polyethylene floats, a geotextile skirt, and a ballast chain. A top tension cable is added for increased overall strength. Floats are available in a variety of fabrics. Turbidity curtains are made to withstand extreme conditions. Turbidity curtains are available for either purchase or rental, and all turbidity curtains may be modified to meet your specific needs.

- Use of a reinforced fence is recommended for applications with high flow volume, adverse soil conditions (including heaving), high wind conditions, or any other environmental or construction condition that would make the fence susceptible to failure.

- The trench is then backfilled and the soil is compacted over the filter fabric to ensure that no gaps exist between the ground and fabric. Silt fences do not work without proper trenching and compacted backfill.

- Post spacing shall be 2m-3m, based on the strength of the fabric used.

- Filter fabric shall not be stapled to existing trees.

- Fabric should be attached to the posts with three diagonal ties (plastic or wire).

- The fabric must be extended into the trench and stapled or wired directly to the posts. If reinforced fence is being used, then the fabric must be stapled or wired to the page wire.

- Posts should be utilized, properly spaced and driven into compacted soil. If a fence reinforced with page wire is required, 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122; steel t-posts are used. Otherwise, wooden posts are used.

-A key trench must be excavated along the the contour on the upslope side of the barrier.

- The ends of the fence should be turned uphill.

- The fence line shall follow the contour of the slope as closely as possible.

- Silt fences placed at the toe of a slope shall be set at least 6 feet (1.8 m) from the toe in order to Increase ponding volume.

- To minimize erosion, install silt fence at the head of a slope to slow velocity and create a large storage area.

- The height of a silt fence shall not exceed 36 inches (0.9 m). Storage height and ponding height shall never exceed 18 inches (0.5 m).

Texel Geosynthetics

Geotextiles are used in civil engineering, environmental, and landscape architecture projects. Our geotextiles are for permanent placement and are impervious to acids naturally occurring in many different soil conditions. They are designed to increase the life span of the structures they protect. The main functions are: Separation: a geotextile between two layers of different types of materials. Preventing particle migration and contamination, causing the deterioration of the structure. Filtration: a geotextile that can allow liquid to flow through while preventing uncontrolled migration of particles, by a controlled filtration opening sizes. Drainage: a geotextiles solution to channel and transport liquids, thereby controlling the water content of the site. Reinforcement: a geotextile with high mechanical properties that prevents deformities, helping to stabilize and/or increase the soilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s load-bearing capacity. Protection: a geotextile that serves as a protection layer to prevent damage, or as replacement of other different materials.

Nonwoven Geotextiles Nonwoven geotextile is a felt-like fabric made from polypropylene or polyester staple fibres that are tangled together in a needle-punching process. Fibers are resistant to acids occurring in soils and are protected against ultraviolet UV degradation. The geotextile can be finished by calendering (heat bonding) on certain product series. Nonwoven geotextiles are used in separation of roads sub base and base course, drainage applications including trench drains, as filter cloth, (wrapping perforated pipe) and erosion protection. They are also used to provide a protective cushion with geomembrane.

Texel Geo-9

Geo-9 - Reinforcement Geocomposite Geo-9 is a geocomposite made of 100% polypropylene. Combining two geotextiles (one nonwoven & one woven) needle punched together to form a single textile, this product combines the properties of both technologies, allowing optimized reinforcement, separation and filtration. Geo-9 is an excellent solution for unusually soft infrastructure soils, as well as for difficult worksites. Geo-9 was designed to increase the bearing capacity of soft soils while keeping the different material layers separate. Thanks to its transmissivity (in-plane permeability), it accelerates the consolidation of the foundation soil. Property

Reinforcement and separation: Reinforcement is ensured by the high-elastic-modulus woven geotextile. Like a tensile membrane, it binds with the soil to balance out the difference between the stress from the road and the soil base. Its tensile modulus allows it to distribute loads over a greater surface. Geo-9 ensures separation of the various material layers and allows them to preserve their mechanical properties at all times. Filtration and drainage: Geo-9â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s filtration function is ensured by its small filter opening size. These hydraulic properties enable accelerated consolidation of soil prone to attenuation. Its drainage capacity increases its adherence with the soil by reducing this same attenuation. Geo-9â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s filter opening size, optimized for soils with an elevated level of fine particulate matter, offers yet another advantage under these conditions. B- 6

Texel Woven Geotextile

Woven Geotextile Woven Geotextile Woven Geotextile is made with polypropylene slit film, monofilament strands or multifilament threads, woven into a sheet. They are resistant to acids occurring in soils and are protected against ultraviolet UV degradation. The manufacturing process of this type of geotextile enhances the mechanical resistance and has low elongation & high survivability. Certain series can be used in high flow situations yet still maintaining separation and filtration properties. Primarily used for: road & slope reinforcement, MSE walls, embankments & silt fence. Applicable products: SX Series (Slit Film) & Monofilament series Typical arrangement:

Selection: As there are many different products available in this class of product, please contact your local representative for assistance. Receiving: Rolls are packed during the manufacturing process to withstand standard on-site handling. A suitable means of transport must be used to avoid damage during delivery. Each roll is assigned a unique series number that may be used to trace the production lot. Labels are placed on the following locations: on the packaging, at the end of the roll, on the material, in the cardboard tube, and on of the ends of the roll. Check the condition of the rolls and packaging at the time of delivery. Handling: Geotextile must always be handled appropriately to avoid damage to the product / packaging or to create an unsafe work environment. The rolls should be moved using a forklift or other lifting equipment. The use of a carpet pole or the appropriate nylon straps is recommended. When unloading at the worksite, make sure not to drag the material on the floor of the trailer or along the ground. Rolls should not be dropped or pushed from a trailer or van. Storage: From the time they are received until they are used, the rolls must be stored on a clean, non-abrasive surface and be protected from any mechanical damage, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays. Damaged packaging can be repaired by applying protective adhesive tape, or by using a new bag. Unused parts of the roll must be repackaged to protect them until further use. www.BrockWhite.ca

Texel Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions

Figure 1 : Example of pyramid storage Site preparation - The site must be adequately prepared so that the surface is homogenous. Roots, large rocks, and other debris that could puncture the geotextile must be removed. Geotextile installation - The procedures for geotextile installation are the same, regardless of the series or purpose. The procedures differ according to the installation plan: horizontal, vertical or sloping, or for French drain installation. These installation procedures are outlined in the sub-sections that follow. Overlap - A minimum of 300 mm overlap is required for longitudinal and transversal seams, for all types of applications. Under certain conditions, (soil with low bearing capacity, major constraints of constructability, etc.), it is important to check with the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative to determine the appropriate overlap for the type of structure. Factory or on-site welding Figure 2 or sewing will reduce the required overlap. In a case Representation of a flat where the sewing is done on-site, it is recommended lock seam that a space measuring 25 mm be left between the edge of the geotextile and the seam. Backfilling - The backfilling method must be appropriate for the application and the type of geotextile. Trucks must roll backwards over a minimum thickness of 300 mm of compacted granular material when unloading. The backfill must be spread using a tracked vehicle. Equipment must never be driven directly over the geotextile layer. The angle, type of compacting, and thickness of the layers should be designed on the existing properties of the supporting soil and the type backfill. Parking lots, basins and heavy access roads must be built to accommodate the trucks and other special equipment used on the site.

B- 8

Texel Installation Details

Installation Details by Application Horizontal Installation - Horizontal installation is generally used for road and transport applications. The geotextiles used for these types of applications can fulfill one or several roles such as separation, filtration, drainage, reinforcement, and protection. 1. Level the land and remove large rocks or other debris that could puncture the geotextile. 2. Unroll the geotextile. It should be slightly taut to prevent wrinkling. Comply with the overlap indicated in the specifications. 3. Unload the backfill. Never drive directly over the geotextile. The use of an access road over the top is preferable. 4. Spread and compact the backfill to the thickness indicated in the specifications. A minimum compacted thickness of 300 mm is required.

Overlap - The overlap at the ends of the rolls must consider the direction of the backfilling to prevent the geotextile from lifting. For installation in a curve, the minimum overlap must be respected in the curveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outer radius. Figure 3 : Installation in a curve in the direction of the overlap Repair procedure - When repairs to a component under the geotextile is necessary or the material is cut or damaged during excavation, the geotextile must then be replaced with new material of the same type. A minimum 450 mm overlap over the existing geotextile must cover the entire perimeter of the excavated area. The backfill must then be spread as described in previous section.

www.BrockWhite.ca

B- 9

Texel Installation

Vertical or Sloping Installation Installation - The geotextile is unrolled from the top to the bottom of the slope, in direct contact with the soil without being stretched. It can be temporarily held in place with sandbags or other weights until it is backfilled. Sufficient material must be left at head or foot to allow for final anchoring. It is preferable for the geotextile to be installed in the downward direction of the slope (Figure 4). For ditches that are fully lined, horizontal overlaps on the banks should be avoided. For retaining walls, geotextiles should be installed following the progression of the wall.

Figure 4 - Geotextile installation following the slope

Figure 5 - Geotextile installation on a slope using an spreader bar

Anchoring - To prevent the geotextile from slipping, it can be held using weights or anchors. Figure 6 and Figure 7 illustrate possible anchors to use at the head and foot of the embankment. (For geomembrane protection, the geotextile must replicate the geomembraneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anchoring profile) Figure 6 Geotextile anchored at the top of the embankment

Texel Installation

Vertical or Sloping Installation Overlap - For installation in a channel, the overlap must follow the water current. The overlap must be between 0.3 m and 1 m depending on the project constraints.

Figure 8 - Overlap in the direction of the water current

Backfilling - It is preferable to spread the backfill from the bottom of the slope to the top to reduce the mechanical stress on the geotextile. Special care must be taken during backfilling operations in order not to damage the geotextile with large rocks. The drop height and the angularity of the stones must be taken into consideration to avoid puncture of the geotextile. A transition layer made from granular material may be necessary to minimize the geotextile puncture risk. French drain installation - Installation, overlap, and backfilling 1) Dig the trench according to designed dimensions and put the geotextile in place. Allow a sufficient length of geotextile to cover the necessary overlap. 2) Fill the trench with the drainage material and the perforated drain as required. 3) Close the geotextile wrapping respecting the overlap, and complete backfilling work.

NAUE Combigrid®

Combigrid®

Combigrid® is composite of a laid geogrid made of stretched, monolithic flat bars with welded junctions and a mechanical bonded geotextile welded within the geogrid structure. Combigrid® geocomposites benefit from NAUE’s decades of reinforcement experience. Continuous improvement of the manufacturing process, stringent quality control in raw material selection and expert engineering support ensure safe and economical constructions. Combigrid® is a geocomposite reinforcement solution. The unique manufacturing process produces structured, high strength, monolithic, pre-stressed polypropylene or polyester reinforcing bars with a continuous molecular structure. The extraordinary high extensional stiffness of Combigrid® efficiently reduces deformations in the subgrade which extends the service life of modern infrastructure. The geocomposite additionally embeds a Secutex® nonwoven geotextile within the reinforcing bars. The welding process that strongly joins the longitudinal and transverse reinforcement bars, creates a firm and robust geocomposite for use in reinforced foundation layers. This combination provides reinforcement, filtration, separation and drainage in a single product. The geogrid-nonwoven geotextile geocomposite is used primarily on soft soils with low bearing capacity, such as unbound, dynamically loaded layers that require filtration and separation support. Typical applications include base and subbase reinforcement for temporary and permanent roads, railways, storage yards, container terminals, temporary working platforms, airport runways, sludge lagoons and tailings ponds. • Reinforcement/stabilization, filtration, separation, and drainage in just one product • Firmly bonded composite product • Biaxial tensile strength up to 120kN/m • Immediate interlock with fill material (no construction related strain) • Cost saving with reduced aggregate thickness • Excellent stress strain behavior (high tensile stiffness) B - 14

• High torsional rigidity • High radial stiffness • High cyclic tensile stiffness • Robust against installation damage and chemical and biological attack

Maccaferri

Soils are engineering materials. Due to the increasing demand for land available for development, construction projects often encounter problematic soils. All soils have poor resistance to tensile stresses and under load, soils are prone to movement and potential failure. Instead of replacing these soils with more competent and expensive materials, soil reinforcement techniques can be used. Significant improvements in soil stability can be realized when a reinforcing material, appropriate for the prevailing conditions, is incorporated into the soil. This accords with Maccaferri’s “Environmental Solutions” mission and the promotion of “Sustainable Development” through the re-use of on-site materials. Reinforced Steep Slopes • Maccaferri geogrids are a great solution for slope reinforcement. They will enhance the stability of the slope for parking lots, road widening, and most locations where slopes are to be steepened. • Consider: MacGrid® WG Series geogrids, MacGrid® EB Series geogrids, ParaDrain, ParaLink.

Steel Mesh Reinforcement & Geogrid Combination Hybrid Structures • Combine Terramesh® woven steel mesh with polymeric geogrids to form a superstructure for high walls or slopes. This unites the stiffness and constructability of the steel mesh for the facing and the strength and versatility of the geogrid for the reinforcement. • Consider: Terramesh®, Green Terramesh®, MacGrid® WG Series geogrids, ParaDrain, ParaLink. Soil Bioengineering Application • MacGrid® WR series geogrids can be combined with soil bioengineering techniques such as brush layering, Green Gabions® and EnviroLog® to provide the structural strength within an environmentally integrated system. • Consider: MacGrid® WG and EB Series geogrids, ParaDrain. www.BrockWhite.ca

Huesker HaTelit® Grid-Reinforcement

Huesker HaTelit® is made from high-modulus polyester and coated with bitumen to achieve a good bond to the asphalt. One side has an ultra-lightweight nonwoven attached, also coated with bitumen. This nonwoven simplifies installation and ensures continuous bond between the layers. This strong bond allows HaTelit® to take up tensile forces and distribute them evenly over a large area. Therefore HaTelit® provides an effective method of preventing reflective cracking in asphalt layers. Over 35 years of experience with HaTelit® have shown that maintenance intervals can be increased by a factor of 3-4. This advantage applies in cold, temperate and hot climate zones. A road reinforced with suitably designed and properly installed HaTelit® reinforcement will remain crack-free for many years. Properties: • High temperature stability • Elongation characteristics match the modulus of the asphalt • Long-term dynamic load-carrying capability • Good bonding characteristics with asphalt

Typical applications: • Anti-cracking reinforcement in asphalt • Reinforcement of joints • Overlays to old concrete roads • Reinforcement of asphalt layers in hydraulic engineering and landfill

HUESKER Synthetic GmbH is ISO 9001:2000 accredited. HaTelit® is a registered trademark of HUESKER Synthetic GmbH.

Maccaferri Retaining Walls & Soil Reinforcement

Retaining Walls & Soil Reinforcement Mass Gravity Retaining Walls Tried and tested for over a century, our gabions are brought up to date with state-of-the-art manufacturing, corrosion resistance and design. Gabions offer a good value, attractive and long-lasting retaining wall. A global leader in doubletwist woven wire mesh products, our flexible gabion units offer strength and high drainage capacity. They easily absorb differential settlement and deformations. Reinforced Soil Walls & Slope Reinforcement Reinforcing soils with geogrids enables them to perform better than in their unreinforced state; standing steeper, accommodating higher loads and settling less. This is useful when reducing the footprint of a new highway embankment, or to gain development area on a sloping site. Maccaferri geogrids including MacGrid® WG, ParaGrid® and ParaLink® are highstrength, low-strain grids with excellent soil interaction. Terramesh® and Green Terramesh® combine the rapid installation of a modular system with the flexibility of soil reinforcement. Used in conjunction with our polymeric geogrids, we can offer super-tall hybrid structures; we have completed numerous walls over 30m high in seismic zones. Green Terramesh® enables vegetation to be established on reinforced soil slopes.

Tri-lockÂŽ Erosion Control System

Permeability Tri-Lock allows effective hyrdaulic pressure relief due to the close proximity and interval of its voids. The voids are created by the configuration of the assembly of the blocks and not by holes made through the blocks. This unique method assures the blocks are not weakened by penetrations that may cause stress cracking. Flexibility Flexibility is achieved by providing adequate tapers at all the interlocking junctions. Tri-Lock will flex to approx. one meter radius in all directions and retain flexibility. It is recommended that the maxiumum design radius be 1.2 metres to allow for soil settlement.

Access The completed Tri-Lock revetment will support both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, provided the sub-surface has been designed to support that traffic. Should vegetation not be desired the voids may then be filled with 20mm Revegetation The voids within the system provide rock chip or gravel. sufficient space for topsoil to support lush vegetation when desired. Penetrations Channels are created between the Tri-Lock modules are connected to systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voids allowing root systems three adjacent modules so the removal to migrate between cells to thoroughly of one or more is possible without interlock and avoid being exposed causing the system to be disconnected. to traffic or other damaging events.

Maccaferri Gabion Mats

Gabion Mats Gabion Mats are used for permanent erosion control in channels, streambanks, spillways and stable slopes from surficial erosion. The stone confinement within the units allows for higher shear stress resistance than riprap. The base is divided into compartments and filled with stones at the project site. With lids closed, gabion mats form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures. The 100 feet (30m) long units make its installation fast and economical. Soil bioengineering techniques can be used to promote vegetation in the gabion mats to provide enhanced shear resistance. Advantages: • Gabion mat strength lies in their double twisted hexagonal mesh of steel wire which is reinforced by selvedges of heavier wire running along the edges. • The base section is divided into compartments to restrict the movement of stone and strengthen the structure. • The lid is supplied as a separate panel. Gabion Mats without vegetation • The wire will not unravel even when cut. • Assembly is easy, requiring no specialized labor and nearby rock is used for fill. • Free drainage and 30-35% voids allow vegetation to grow.

Maccaferri Gabions

Gabions

Galvanized & PVC Coated Product Description Gabions are baskets manufactured from 8x10 double twisted hexagonal woven steel wire mesh, as per ASTM A975-97 (Fig.1 and 2). Gabions are filled with stones at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures such as retaining walls, channel linings, and wires for erosion control projects. The steel wire used in the manufacture of the gabion is heavily zinc coated soft temper steel. A PVC coating is then applied to provide additional protection for use in polluted, contaminated or aggressive environments: in salt, fresh water, acid soil or wherever the risk of corrosion is present. The PVC coating has a nominal thickness of 0.50 mm. The standard specifications of the mesh-wire are shown in Table 2. The gabion is divided into cells by diaphragms positioned at approximately 1 m centers (Fig. 1). To reinforce the structure, all mesh panel edges are selvedged with a wire having a greater diameter (Table 3). Dimensions and sizes of PVC coated gabions are shown in Table 1.

Bentofix®

Thermal Lock Clay Liners • The industry’s only thermal lock geosynthetic clay liner and scrim-reinforced geosynthetic clay liner • The only Canadian made geosynthetic clay liner • Now available as a geomembrane Features and Benefits As a replacement for thick clay liners or as a replacement to geomembranes, whether as part of a composite liner or as a stand-alone liner, GCLs offer several advantages: • Installation is relatively simple, requiring unrolling and lapping of adjacent panels, as opposed to the placement, compaction, and detailed testing of multiple lifts of clay materials comprising a clay liner. • No welding is required unlike geomembranes • Due to significantly reduced thickness, GCL’s either require less excavation to develop a given containment volume, or consume a significantly reduced portion of the available containment volume. • Due to the simplified process, it is possible to place the covering layer immediately upon placement of the GCL, whereas multi-lift clay layers could take several days or even weeks to install, during which time the liner is susceptible to the elements, and leads to considerable rework or repair. Multi Functional By needle punching fibres through the sodium bentonite clay layer, a completely uniform, reinforced GCL is produced with shear strength and stability, advantages important to any application such as: • Environmental protection barrier under roads/ railways • Secondary containment for above ground tanks • Stormwater management ponds • Landfill cap closures/base liner • Vertical trench cutoff barrier • Groundwater protection cover • Recreational and golf course ponds • Dams/Dikes D- 2

Geosynthetic Liners

Canal3® Why is Canal3® the preferred choice?

Geocomposite for canals and water containment applications Canal3 is a multi-layer geosynthetic composite membrane designed for water containment applications offering an easy, reliable and cost-effective canal lining solution. Canal3 provides superior puncture resistance and increased interface friction properties that allows the liner to be deployed directly in contact with most existing soils and steepened side slopes. Puncture Resistance Canal3 is comprised of a polyethylene membrane laminated between two nonwoven protection layers. The nonwovens can be designed for increased puncture protection if deemed necessary by site conditions, allowing onsite soils to be used as the subgrade material without the cost of placing an expensive bedding material or placement of separate nonwoven layers. Interface Friction Lining an existing earthen canal typically requires reshaping the bottom and side slopes prior to installing the Canal3 geocomposite. The side slopes can range from relatively flat to very steep depending on site conditions and property boundaries. The bottom nonwoven on Canal3 provides a superior interface friction response with onsite soils which prevents Canal3 from sliding. The top nonwoven layer also allows for soil or shotcrete to be used as cover material even for 1.5 H: 1 V slopes. Material

Curlex® GreenSavers

CURLEX® GreenSavers Successfully used by leading golf courses for over 23 years!

Late Fall Application

Early Spring Removal

How does it work? • Allows better air circulation, creating a more constant surface temperature by preventing heat build-up. • Helps prevent grass dessication (drying out) on high, windswept greens. • Provides insulating properties that help reduce frost penetration. • Helps establish quality greens early in the spring, extending the playing season by two to three weeks. • Maintains a more constant temperature, minimizing the freeze/thaw cycle’s negative effects. Easy Installation • Anchor GreenSaver blanket with 6” securing pins at about 6’ spacing. • Do not overlap blankets. • Install as late as possible. Soil temp should around 4 C (grass must be dormant) • Remove blankets after danger of -6 C weather has passed. • When stored properly CURLEX® GreenSavers can be used for years.

Stego® Wrap Vapour Barrier

STEGO® Wrap Vapour Barrier ASTM E 1745 Class A-B-C Compliant

STEGO® Wrap Vapour Barrier represents a recent breakthrough in state-of-theart plastic extrusion processes. By combining multi-layer extrusion technology with our proven trade secret blend of prime virgin resins and additives, we at Stego Industries have produced an ASTM E 1745 Class A polyolefin VAPOR BARRIER. Stego’s emphasis has always been very low permeance (the most important quality according to industry experts). Our latest blend continues to provide next to zero permeance, while exceeding ASTM E 1745 Class A requirements for puncture resistance and tensile strength. All this comes with the same competitive pricing our customers have come to expect. The STEGO® Advantages Superior defense against floor failures: Experts say “the need for a vapor barrier (as opposed to a vapor retarder) is becoming increasingly clear.” Concrete Construction Magazine, August 2003, p.18. Infiltration of moisture through concrete slabs is a major building defect liability. Stego Wrap Vapor Barrier has an extremely low permeance preventing water vapor, soil gases (i.e. Radon), alkaline salts and soil sulfates from compromising the integrity of the building envelope and leading to serious problems with the concrete slab, floor coverings and indoor air quality. Stego Wrap Vapor Barrier is the best protection against these costly failures. Longevity and strength: Stego Wrap Vapor Barrier is NOT made with recycled materials and will not degrade. Prime, virgin resins are the key. Molecules within Stego Wrap “interlock” to provide strength, durability and unprecedented resistance to moisture vapor and radon gas. Stego Wrap’s puncture resistance is excellent and it will not tear, crack, flake, snag or puncture, even when 18,000 lb. laser-screed machines are driving directly across the barrier. E - 11

Installation Instructions (Based on ASTM E 1643) Unroll Stego Wrap over the area where the slab is to be placed. Stego Wrap should completely cover the concrete placement area. Overlap seams 6 inches and tape using Stego Tape. All penetrations and blockouts should be sealed using a combination of Stego Wrap, Stego Tape and/or Stego Mastic. If the Stego Wrap is damaged, cut a piece from the Stego Wrap roll, place over the damaged area, and tape around all edges. Concrete may be placed directly on Stego Wrap. Stego Tape: Stego Wrap Red Polyethylene Tape (3.75” x 180’/roll) is specially designed to seal seams and penetrations on Stego Wrap installations. The acrylic, pressure-sensitive adhesive provides permanent bonding and quick-stick properties. The area to be bonded should be free of dust, dirt and moisture. If properly installed Stego Tape will provide years of continuous protection. www.BrockWhite.ca
