Used by manufacturers, contractors, and distributors across construction, infrastructure, and environmental restoration projects.

Erosion Control Sock & Sediment Control Sock

Carriff designs and manufactures engineered knitted fabrics used in erosion and sediment control applications. Our fabrics are used to produce erosion control socks, sediment control socks, compost socks, silt socks, filter socks, sediment tubes, and wattles used to control runoff, reduce erosion, and manage sediment on construction sites and infrastructure projects.

These systems are widely used for sediment control, perimeter control, slope stabilization, ditch check dams, and stormwater inlet protection amongst others.

Unlike many commodity materials used in erosion control, Carriff fabrics are engineered for performance. The yarn selection, knit structure, and opening size are designed to balance strength, filtration, containment, and water flow so that the sock performs consistently in the field.

Engineered Fabrics for Erosion Control

Carriff erosion control fabrics are designed to work with specific fill materials and project conditions. Depending on the application, fabrics may be engineered to prioritize containment, filtration, durability, or water flow. Carriff can modify the knit structure, yarn selection, and opening size to support these performance characteristics.

Key considerations include:

Compatibility with compost, wood fiber, straw, sand, gravel, topsoil or other fill materials
Sediment containment and filtration performance
Controlled water flow through the sock
Fabric strength and durability
Installation and handling performance in the field

For higher-volume projects, Carriff can also develop custom fabrics tailored to specific fill materials and erosion control systems.

Erosion & Sediment Control Product Offerings

All products can be made in a variety of fabric weights, colors, and stitch densities to meet your needs, with sizes ranging from 8″ to 32″ in diameter. Please contact us to learn more.

Regular Grade Sock Fabric

Used in general sediment and perimeter control applications across a wide range of industries.

Heavy Duty Sock Fabric

Provides increased strength and containment for more demanding site conditions.

HD-450 Sock Fabric

A high-performance fabric for heavy-duty applications where strength, durability, and containment are critical.

Wattle Sock Fabrics

Carriff fabrics are also used in erosion control wattles, straw wattles, and wattle sock systems.
Many wattles currently use HDPE extruded slit film netting. Carriff knitted fabrics provide an alternative that offers several advantages, including improved containment of fill materials, enhanced durability, improved handling during filling and installation, and a more consistent structure compared to extruded slit film netting.

Biodegradable Erosion Control Fabrics

Carriff is also developing erosion control fabrics using biodegradable and natural fiber materials.
These fabrics are ideal for applications where long-term synthetic materials are not desired and environmental sustainability is a priority. They support environmentally responsible sediment and erosion control practices while still providing the performance needed for effective sediment containment.

Erosion Control Applications

Erosion control socks are used across a wide range of sediment control and stormwater management applications, including:

Perimeter sediment control
Construction site runoff control
Slope interrupters
Ditch check dams
Sediment barriers and construction sediment barriers
Stormwater inlet protection and stormwater inlet filters
Storm drain inlet protection and catch basin filters
Inlet filtration systems
Sediment filtration around catch basins
Temporary erosion control barriers and erosion control barriers
Environmental restoration and land stabilization

Stormwater Inlet Protection and Inlet Filters

Carriff has also developed inlet filtration systems designed to capture sediment before it enters stormwater infrastructure.

These inlet protection systems allow water to pass through while containing sediment and debris. They are commonly used around storm drains, curb inlets, and catch basins on construction sites.
