Catch Basin Protection

Title: Down the Drain-Catch Basin Protection

Topic: How do you project a catch basin during construction? Is a catch basin insert enough? What are you trying to protect it from-sediment, turbidity, gravel? How to you protect non-standard catch basins, slot drains, curb drains? What about covering them to keep everything out? Should you use plugs in the storm pipe? These and other questions will be discussed in this brief overview of catch basin protection.

Speaker: Dave Jenkins, CPESC, has over 25 years experience in heavy civil, public works construction as an erosion control and stormwater engineer, resident engineer, and construction inspector. He is trying to retire, but feels the need to keep going back to work and is closing out a habitat restoration project for the Port of Seattle.

Sed Cage is a catch basin protection best management practice that seems to work well at ponding water so sediment can settle out. The Sed Cage filters sediment but plugs up, becoming a barrier. It can an be reused if taken care of and cleaned after each use.
