Erosion Fencing Midland, TX

Installing specialty fencing takes skill, vigilance and a custom approach. Here is an overview of how Fence Company Midland TX approaches erosion control fence installation for optimal performance:

Initial Site Assessment

• Carefully evaluate terrain, soil type, drainage and areas prone to erosion
• Identify water flow patterns
• Determine traffic, environmental exposure and duration needed
• Select best fence type(s) for your unique needs

Before installing any erosion or sediment control fencing, our team completes a thorough site assessment.

We carefully examine the terrain, soil type, drainage patterns and areas already experiencing or prone to erosion issues. This allows us to identify exactly where runoff water tends to flow across your property during storms.

Understanding the unique characteristics of your site is crucial for determining the best locations and most effective fence types for controlling erosion.

Our team also considers factors like planned construction traffic, long-term commercial use or short-term residential projects, and overall environmental conditions the fences will be exposed to.

And we determine how long the erosion fencing will be needed. Some projects may only need temporary control during construction or establishing new landscaping. Others require permanent perimeter barriers to manage ongoing drainage or erosion concerns over the long term.

Considering all these factors allows Fence Company Midland TX to select the optimal erosion control fence types and layout to address runoff and sediment issues for your unique property needs.

Proper placement maximizes effectiveness so you avoid erosion damage and related compliance problems.

Custom Installation

• Proper trenching based on fence type
• Secure post spacing
• Tight fence stretching and staking
• Joining end and corner posts for stability
• Professional anchoring and backup support

Once the erosion fence type and site plan are determined, it’s time for experienced installation. Our team takes great care to properly trench, space posts, stretch fencing material tight, securely join sections, and anchor the entire system for optimal performance.

Each fence type requires different trenching and post depths. For example, silt fences typically need an 8-10 inch trench while structural wire-backed systems require deeper 24-30 inch excavation. Post spacing also varies based on expected drainage flow intensity.

Proper post spacing, paired with tight fence stretching, prevents sagging and failures. We use durable systems to join end and corner posts. Staking and backup support keeps everything upright and in place, even during severe Midland weather.

For erosion control systems wrapping slopes or large areas, correct position overlapping and material joining is crucial.

Our crew takes the time to properly anchor the leading edge before unrolling fencing to prevent undercutting. We overlap roll ends and secure material joints with durable fasteners that won’t unhinge.

And it’s not just about installing the fence itself to our exacting standards. The little details matter too. Our technicians neatly tuck and secure any loose fabric ends and remove all unused materials and installation debris when finished.

Ongoing Monitoring & Maintenance

• Regular inspections after install
• Identify and address sagging areas
• Repair undercutting and post movement
• Remove trapped sediment

The hardest working fences need ongoing checkups and care. So Fence Company Midland TX teams don’t just install and leave the site. We make regular follow up visits after installation to monitor fence integrity and performance.

During heavy storms or seasonal changes, erosion control fences can become stressed or damaged. Wind may cause post leaning or fencing stretches to come loose. Significant runoff can result in undercutting below fences or unusual sediment levels causing sagging.

Our technicians look out for these issues and others during monitoring. We identify and proactively repair any post movement, undercutting gaps, or loose fence stretching before problems magnify. Excess trapped sediment levels are also cleared to prevent overwhelming fences.

For large properties and extensive fence installations, we offer full-scale scheduled maintenance plans. This includes periodic inspections, repairs, adjustments, sediment clearing and full seasonal installations or removals.

Consistent professional maintenance identifies erosion control fence problems early. Timely preventative repairs maximize useful fence life and effectiveness protecting your Midland property from erosion and runoff damage.
