Sediment Control
Interested in compost-based sediment control systems and need to know more? This one-hour webinar reviews the latest performance research, technical specifications, and design criteria for Filtrexx sediment control applications, including perimeter control, inlet protection, check dams, sediment traps, slope interruption, and bio-filtration applications.
Learn:
• How and why compost removes sediment from runoff
• How this material is used in a variety of applications
• About research from universities on how this technology performs
• How to access specifications of these practices for your projects
Pollutant Removal
This one-hour webinar demonstrates how compost-based BMPs can dramatically reduce sediment and targeted pollutants from stormwater with Filtrexx EnviroSoxx®. EnviroSoxx® consist of sediment control devices with one or more natural additives used to remove invisible pollutants.
Learn how EnviroSoxx® can:
- Remove up to 99% of coliform bacteria with BactoLoxx®
- Remove up to 73% of heavy metals with MetalLoxx®
- Remove up to 92% of nutrients with NutriLoxx®
- Remove up to 99% of hydrocarbons (diesel, gasoline, and motor oil) with PetroLoxx®
Low Impact Development
Are you concerned with the restoration and protection of vital water ways? Do you want to help reduce pollution in your local watershed? Help is at hand! Attend this FREE information-packed webinar on post-construction water quality treatment. Learn about the latest research and how to design and implement Filtrexx®’s Treatment Train™ products to reduce urban and post-construction storm water pollutants.
See how to:
- Reduce turbidity and TSS
- Naturally absorb hydrocarbons from urban runoff
- Remove harmful bacteria from combined sewers, pet parks, and agriculture
- Reduce phosphorus and nitrogen
- Filter particulate and soluble heavy metals
LEED/Green Building
Attend this one-hour webinar to learn the basics of the LEED Green Building Rating and Certification program and how Filtrexx® Products are being used to maximize credit accrual. This webinar will focus on the basics of the LEED program, and how and where Compost-BMPs fit into the LEED rating systems.
Learn:
- What green building and LEED is all about
- Which credit categories compost-BMPs fit within and how they can lead to point accrual
- About a LEED Platinum project that utilized compost-BMPs
LivingWalls
Why manage grade changes with non-sustainable methods when living retaining walls can accomplish the same task with environmental benefits? Much the same as green roofs, rain gardens and bioswales, living retaining walls minimize stormwater runoff, cool the environment, and provide habitat for native creatures. Living walls also contribute to the LEED points of a project in several categories.
Filtrexx® LivingWalls™ combine innovative engineering from The Living Wall Company with Filtrexx Bank Stabilization technology. Now together as one company, we offer a wide range of MSE and non-MSE solutions for walls and slopes from 80 to 45 degrees of inclination, with varying degrees of design flexibility and planting options. We guarantee the beauty, strength and sustainability of our LivingWall systems.
Filtrexx® LivingWalls™ Advantage:
- Guaranteed volume, position, and quality of soil
- Accurate and easy placement of engineered Filtrexx® GrowingMedia™
- Design and planting flexibility
- Long-term plant health
Vertical LivingWalls™ and Fences
ELT EasyGreen and our Green Living Fences add unique, dramatic vertical greenery to your interior or exterior wall. Both systems utilize pre-grown panels for instant results! Use it to enliven a small space, or use it on a massive scale. Attend this webinar to learn more.
GreenLoxx LivingWall System
GreenLoxx LivingWalls are comprised of GroSoxx – vegetated Soft Blocks used to stabilize slopes and banks and prevent erosion. GroSoxx use Filtrexx heavy duty tubular netting filled with high quality GrowingMedia™ to provide a stable and fertile environment for optimum vegetation establishment. Typically pre-seeded with a custom seed blend to suit your application and climate, GroSoxx offer beauty and proven performance—at a fraction of the cost of hardscape. GroSoxx can be pneumatically filled on site in continuous lengths, or pre-manufactured in three-foot sections that can be easily installed with minimal labor and no heavy equipment. Attend the webinar to learn more.
EnviroBloxx & SmartSlope LivingWall Systems
EnviroBloxx and SmartSlope LivingWall systems provide high structural stability and innovative design that ensures longevity. Both systems provide a mechanical connection to reinforcement and large planting pockets to maximize growing space. But the two systems differ in terms of their uses. Attend the webinar to learn more.
Trinity LivingWall Systems
The Trinity® LivingWall™ system allows for the stabilization of walls and slopes with variable inclinations between 45 degrees and 80 degrees . The system’s galvanized wire facing elements allow for mechanical connection and reinforcement while providing structure and containment of Filtrexx® GrowingMedia™. Through the use of our GroSoxx®, the Trinity LivingWall system provides superior soil retention and erosion protection while providing an optimum environment for vegetation establishment. Attend this webinar to learn more.
Green Roofs
Filtrexx® Green Roofs are multi-functional roofing systems designed to mitigate the impact of urban development by managing storm water, reducing building heat absorption, and creating valued green space. Filtrexx® GrowingMedia™ may be utilized as an important component of the green roof soil media. Filtrexx® Green Roof systems may be used with or without Filtrexx Netting. Learn how to incorporate Filtrexx technology into almost any green roof design by attending this webinar.
Combining LivingWall Systems
Filtrexx offers a range of LivingWall systems with varying degrees of strength and design flexibility. Learn how to combine multiple LivingWall systems across a single project to achieve the most functional, economical, and beautiful living retaining wall.
