Type A standard inlet protection is wrapped with which material?

Type A standard inlet protection is specifically designed to help reduce sediment transport into stormwater systems during construction activities. The correct material used for wrapping this type of inlet protection is galvanized hardware cloth combined with woven slit film geotextile.

The galvanized hardware cloth serves as a structural support that provides mechanical stability and longevity to the inlet protection system. The woven slit film geotextile, known for its strength and filtration capabilities, allows water to flow through while trapping sediment and preventing it from entering the stormwater system. Together, these materials effectively work to minimize erosion and sediment runoff, which are critical goals in stormwater management and erosion control practices.

Using these specific materials ensures that the protection is both robust enough to withstand environmental pressures and effective in filtering sediment, thereby contributing to effective E&S control on construction sites.
