Sediment control
Professional inlet protection installation
Inlet protection keeps sediment-laden stormwater from entering storm drain inlets during construction. Herndon Inc. installs inlet structure filters around drop inlets, curb inlets, and other drainage structures so sediment stays on site instead of washing into the storm sewer.
We install inlet structure filter Types A through F based on project plans, inlet type, and applicable SCDOT specifications on SCDOT projects.

Common questions
Inlet protection FAQ
What is inlet protection?
Inlet protection is a filter or barrier placed around or in a storm drain inlet during construction. It lets water drain while trapping sediment.
What inlet filter types do you install?
Herndon Inc. installs inlet structure filter Types A through F. The type depends on the inlet, the site, and project specifications.
Do inlet filters need maintenance?
Yes. Sediment builds up around inlet filters and needs to be removed so the filter keeps working. Our crews also handle silt removal.
