Silt Control Products: Technology Briefing

Training equips teams with the knowledge to identify pollution risks early and apply best practices for prevention and compliance. Construction sites can create pathways for silt, sediment, and contaminants to enter watercourses, leading to environmental harm, regulatory penalties, and project delays.

Training helps ensure that staff from planners to site teams understand pollution pathways, legal responsibilities, and effective mitigation techniques to protect the environment and reduce risk across all stages of a project.

We are proud to offer a broad range of training and CPD from working in water to large scale infrastructure sites, and sites with linear footprints as well as product technology briefings. Our briefings take a deeper dive into the function, technology and innovation behind our pollution prevention products.

Each course is led by our technical experts with applied industry knowledge, either in-person or online, and include:

• Remote and on-site sessions on silt control and surface water management for different project phases, and working responsibly in or near water.
• Practical, field-focused training to get erosion and sediment controls right in real conditions.
• CPD-accredited “Lunch & Learn” sessions. These are free remote sessions covering key topics such as silt pollution prevention and working responsibly in or near water.
• Technology briefings on specialised products like Floc Mat®, Clearflow’s Gel Flocculant and Silt Capture Channels as well as Bubble Tubing® and OctoAir® to support water quality aims.
• Free quarterly webinars covering topical water quality and environmental best practice relevant to our industry.

We pride ourselves on having a specialist technical team made up of qualified environmental experts.

They spend day in, day out advising clients on silt control and water quality strategies and designing site-specific water treatment systems.

They also deliver all of Frog’s training, CPD courses and Lunch & Learn sessions.

We work with a wide range of people within the industry who have very different job functions. Therefore, we aim to make our sessions suitable for a broad range of industry roles.

• Site managers, supervisors and operatives
• Environmental and project managers
• Quantity surveyors and planners
• Engineers and technical staff
• Contractors working in or near water

With options suitable for both frontline site teams and technical leadership roles, our training supports skill development and awareness at every level.

Attendees will gain:

• A clearer understanding of how silt and other pollutants affect water quality, ecosystems and compliance obligations.
• Practical skills to plan, prevent and respond to pollution risks on construction sites.
• Knowledge of applicable legislation, best practices and control techniques.
• In some sessions, we offer CPD certificates that demonstrate the delegate’s professional development and commitment to environmental best practice.
