A Low-Impact Drain Protection Alternative
The GuardDog Drain Filter is protecting drains on many of Australia’s most important infrastructure projects. Its performance has earned itself a following amongst some of the biggest names in construction.
Innovation is at the core of the GuardDog and we’re excited to reveal a new mounting solution that provides minimum fuss on your worksite – magnetic mounts. These powerful mounts use neodymium magnets to deliver a huge 22kg strength to secure to most drain systems with a grate.
They’re easy to install – simply thread the magnet through the GuardDog to suit your drain grate and secure the other end with the included nut. Optional backing plates can be installed for added security – your drains will be protected from vehicles, foot traffic and high velocity runoff. Magnetic mounts enable the GuardDog to be removed and replaced in seconds – cleaning your GuardDog or accessing your protected drain has never been easier.
GuardDog Drain Filter 810mmW x 1000mmLThe GuardDog drain filter offers a revolutionary approach to sediment control. It fits to cover most stormwater drains to effectively prevent silt, sediment, hydrocarbons and debris from entering our waterways and ocean.
- Traps sediment and hydrocarbons
- Improves water receiving quality
- 100% recycled absorbent media
- 53 micron filtration (0.053mm)
- Absorbs up to 12 litres of hydrocarbons
- Lightweight, low profile and durable
Filtration Innovation
The GuardDog works by using an innovative absorbent media called Spilltration® Husky, which is made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste. The material’s fibres absorb hydrocarbons and trap sediment particles as small as 53 microns (0.053mm), finer than a human hair. Spilltration® Husky also delivers exceptional water flow characteristics due to its unique construction, which allows water to wick through, even when saturated with oil.
Performance by Design
The GuardDog features a heavy-duty polyethylene mesh top for drive over durability. The Spilltration® Husky absorbent media removes and traps oils, fuels, sheens and sediment. A raised centre helps to create a damming effect and improve performance in high flow situations. Overflow port prevents water from backing up in heavy rain events. Eyelets provide a means to secure the GuardDog to metal grates with metal ties or concrete bolts.
Suitable for Most Drain Types
The standard GuardDog drain filter is designed to cover most box and v-grate drains. The side-entry GuardDog is wider and features aluminium strips to contour around most kerb inlet drains with or without grates. Custom sizing is also available by request.
When to use one?
The GuardDog is ideal for protecting drains during construction activity. It can also be used in carparks, manufacturing facilities, waste management, rail yards, refineries. The GuardDog helps to improve environmental compliance and avoid penalty notices.
Installation Versatility
The GuardDog can be installed in a variety of ways. It can be screwed directly into the concrete, secured to drain grates via metal cable ties or using high-powered magnets. See our installation guide to find out more.
Superior to Alternatives
Alternatives such as silt socks and coir logs do not trap hydrocarbons, and drain pollution guards can become overloaded to block drains and cause flooding. Unlike silt socks, the GuardDog will not split if driven over – it’s a low profile solution that’s foot and vehicle traffic friendly.
ISC Verified Innovation
The GuardDog drain filter was verified by the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) as Australia-first innnovation for its use on the Monash Freeway upgrade. It is listed on iSupply and may assist in obtaining IS Credits for Receiving Water Quality (ISv1.2 Dis-1 / ISv2.1 Env-1), Diversion from Landfill (ISv1.2 Was-2), Innovation Challenge 8 (ISv1.2 & ISv2.1 Inn-1).
