Silt Saver Travel Lane Wattle High visibility BMP keeps traffic moving on your site.

The Silt Saver Travel Lane Wattle is a lightweight, reusable sediment control device designed for high-flow stormwater filtration in construction and erosion control applications. It is commonly deployed for curb inlet protection, slope erosion control, and stream protection on active job sites.

The Travel Lane Wattle is constructed with a biodegradable pine straw core wrapped in a durable, high-visibility green polyester mesh casing. Unlike traditional wheat straw wattles, the pine straw core resists mold and compaction, eliminating the ponding effects that compromise filtration performance.

The polyester green mesh casing allows high-flow stormwater to pass through while capturing suspended sediment, providing controlled stormwater flow and particulate retention at the point of discharge. Its structural integrity ensures the wattle maintains its shape under heavy flow conditions without collapsing or losing filtration efficiency.

The Travel Lane Wattle is available in three sizes – 9 inch x 10 ft (TLW10-A), 9 inch x 15 ft (TLW15-A), and 9 inch x 22 ft (TLW22-A) – all sharing a consistent 9-inch diameter. This range of lengths allows contractors to select the right coverage for curb lines, slopes, or inlet openings of varying widths.

Pine straw cores resist mold and compaction far better than wheat straw, which is prone to degrading quickly and creating ponding effects that reduce filtration effectiveness. The Silt Saver Travel Lane Wattle’s pine straw fill maintains its loft and permeability throughout the duration of a project, making it a more reliable long-term sediment control solution.

The Travel Lane Wattle installs quickly thanks to its built-in handles, which allow workers to position and reposition the wattle without specialized equipment. When used as a bridge wattle, its durable casing withstands heavy equipment passage without sustaining damage, reducing the need for replacement mid-project.

Yes – the Travel Lane Wattle is specifically engineered for reuse, with a durable polyester mesh casing that holds up to repeated handling, repositioning, and heavy equipment contact. Its reusability reduces material waste and overall project cost compared to single-use sediment control alternatives.

Unlike silt fence, which requires staking, trenching, and periodic replacement, the Travel Lane Wattle installs without ground disturbance and can be repositioned or reused as site conditions change. Its high-flow filtration capacity also makes it better suited for curb inlets and active travel lanes where stormwater volumes are higher and access for maintenance is limited.
