Berm-building tools can mold and form earthen dams to a preset size. This unit is fed by a tube that sends
mulch to the point of berm construction. When construction is complete, the mulch can be spread evenly over the landscaped
area. Berms are generally made with compost.
Berms divert runoff water to designated recieving areas and help keep muddy water contained within a construction site.
Depending on their composition, berms may also serv to filter runoff water and capture sediment.
Typical applications: For perimeter controls on construction sites.
Longevity: They are considered temporary and should be removed after construction is completed
and runoff has been controlled by other permanent means.
Performance Characteristics: Moderately effective, require regular maintenance to monitor damage
from construction traffic, machinery and large storm events.
