End Connectors |
ASTM Aluminum ‘Z’ connectors |
Skirt Fastening |
Grommet connectors or hook and loop |
Section Lengths |
50’, 100’ custom |
Skirt Depth |
Up to 50’ depth and configured to meet slope if required. Estimated at feet deep to the bottom of the waterway, with one or both ends tapered. (Contractor to verify bathymetry prior to manufacture). The depth and shape of the skirt is to be determined by the water depth and the bottom profile. The skirt depth shall exactly match the depth
of the high water elevation. Ends sloped at 2:1, 3:1 or as specified. |
Flow Area |
Baffles can be designed with flow around ends or reinforced flow through windows in various locations depending on desired water flow pattern Sized at max 30 gallons per square foot of opening per minute. |
Anchoring |
Tire or pyramid anchors or (kits for customer-supplied tire anchors) are recommended for all lined ponds, duck-bill anchors for ground anchoring, fluke anchors, pyramid. (Shore cable should be no more than 3’ from concrete footer post/reservoir/high water elevation). |
