Description:
The Blue Bag Cradle was designed to provide effective sediment filtration for curb inlet storm drains on construction sites. As sediment-laden water flows along curbs and into storm drain openings, the Blue Bag Cradle captures sediment while allowing water to pass through, helping prevent sediment from entering storm sewer systems and local waterways.
To solve the challenge of filtering runoff at curb inlets while maintaining proper water flow, we designed the Blue Bag Cradle using durable geotextile fabric supported by a steel frame structure. This design allows the cradle to sit securely inside the curb inlet opening, making installation, inspection, and maintenance simple and safe without requiring special equipment.
One of the largest challenges for inlet protection is proper maintenance and consistent performance. The Blue Bag Cradle addresses this by using a structured frame and high-flow filtration fabric that resists clogging and maintains drainage flow during rain events.
We believe the Blue Bag Cradle will benefit your construction site erosion control plan in the following ways:
Cost Effectiveness
Constructed from durable materials designed to last through multiple use cycles, reducing replacement frequency and overall project costs compared to disposable inlet protection products.
Easy Installation
The steel frame allows the Blue Bag Cradle to rest securely within the curb inlet structure for quick and reliable installation. The frame design helps prevent incorrect installation and improves job site safety.
Superior Performance
Made from a high-flow geotextile that allows water to pass through while capturing sediment and debris. The design helps reduce clogging and minimizes the risk of flooding during heavy rain events.
Reduced Maintenance Concerns
The structured cradle design keeps the filtration fabric positioned properly within the inlet, reducing the risk of tearing, snagging, or displacement from normal site conditions. The unit can be easily inspected, cleaned, or vacuumed out for maintenance and reuse.
American Made and Customizable
The Blue Bag Cradle is proudly manufactured in the USA by Erosion Blue, a veteran owned business. Custom sizes and configurations are available to fit various curb inlet dimensions and project requirements.
