BlackHawk Inlet Filter Matt 24″x24″

Lightweight with virtually unlimited capacity, Blackhawk Inlet Filter Mat installs in seconds and stops sediment and debris from invading inlets during and after construction.

Silt sacks have limited sediment storage capacity and can easily blind whereby causing street flooding. Blackhawk™ has a much higher sediment storage capacity because sediment is kept above the grate. It’s unique design – vertically oriented coir fibers, scalloped edging, hi-flow holes, and emergency dewatering plugs, make this device the most robust in it’s class.

Blackhawk™ is held to the grate with high-strength rubberized magnets so installation, servicing, and removal is a snap – no skid steer or backhoe needed. This device can be cleaned and re-used multiple times.
