The Importance of Erosion and Sediment Control in 2021

The Importance of Erosion and Sediment Control in 2021

When it comes to site development, Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) is essential. Erosion can come in a wide range of forms, but it can impact almost any site and having an effective ESC Plan in Calgary is not only wise but often a requirement.

What is an ESC Plan Calgary?

An Erosion and Sediment Control Plan is a set of guidelines that have been put together by a professional and licensed engineer. These plans will outline the specific site measures that need to be undertaken to reduce and control the impact of erosion not only during the development but also after construction. To develop an ESC plan Calgary, the engineer will visit the construction site and review a range of areas, including disturbed areas and erosion hazards as well as observing runoff following a rainstorm.

Why is it important?

Having a clear plan in place will help ensure you can choose the best Erosion Control Measures for you. An ESC plan Calgary will help you find the right solution to protect your building site and ensure the construction faces no issues once complete. An ESC plan Calgary could involve simple measures such as silt fence, sediment logs or digging sediment basins for temporary erosion control or long term measures like hydroseeding to establish vegetation.
