ERTEC Ditch
Guard™ is a high performance, cost effective check-dam system used to
stabilize freshly graded roadside ditches, swales and other channels where concentrated
flows are expected. The system slows
and spreads flow reducing erosive energy. |

Case Studies |
The system is
installed very quickly without heavy equipment. The system packs densely – between
600 and 1000 feet per pallet. The
system is easily maintained, removed and reused. |

Ditch Guard is
flexible in both the vertical and horizontal directions. If the grade angle changes sharply, the
upright can be slit and overlapped.
The slit can be sutured with UV stable zip ties. |
Starting from the center of the channel and working outward, the segments are overlapped for continuous protection. |
1”x1”x18”
stakes are inserted in pre-installed slots.
2 stakes per segment or every 3.3 feet. The up steam flap is backfilled to prevent
undermining. |
