Failed Erosion Controls Back in Compliance Fast in Suffolk VA

A general contractor reached out to us in a tough spot. The original ownership on a site had walked away months prior, and without anyone maintaining the erosion controls, things had started to fall apart. The city was pushing for compliance, and the GC needed someone who could get in, fix it fast, and get it done right. That's exactly what we did.

Here's what we were working with - over 1,400 linear feet of silt fencing that was failing and needed to be fully removed and replaced. On top of that, multiple drop inlet protection devices had to be swapped out. Drop inlet covers are what keep sediment from washing directly into storm drains, so when those fail on an active site, it's not just a compliance issue - it's an environmental one.

We mobilized, got the crew out, and knocked the whole scope out efficiently. New silt fence running the full length of the site, new inlet protection devices in place, and everything set up the way it needed to be for inspection. The site passed inspection the following day. No back-and-forth, no re-do's.

This is a situation we see more than you'd think - especially on sites where ownership or contractors have changed hands. Erosion controls don't maintain themselves, and the longer they sit deteriorating, the bigger the problem gets. Whether it's a few hundred feet or over a thousand, we can assess what's failing and get it replaced without dragging the process out.

If you're a GC or project owner dealing with a site that's out of compliance - or heading that way - we know exactly how to handle it. Getting back into good standing with the city doesn't have to be a drawn-out ordeal.
