Flocculant use on a construction site
Basic guidance for the construction industry about when to use a flocculant, what type of flocculant to use and how much of it to use, and advice on managing costs and risks when using flocculants on a construction site.
Managing silt on construction sites
Before starting your project, sediment and silt management is an essential part of your planning. Silt, soils, mud, clay, and sand are the primary pollutants generated at construction sites, mainly due to erosion of exposed soils by surface water runoff leading to siltation of water courses.
