Dandy Curb®
Dandy Curb®
One of the greatest environmental concerns we face these days is soil erosion. This is a widespread problem due to the rise of urbanization and a multitude of construction projects that are ongoing. When buildings are constructed, the land is ripped up and dug out, exposing the soil to possible erosion.
Sediments dug up during construction can find their way to the city’s water system through storm sewers, storm grates and storm inlets. This includes large projects and small projects (like the new home being built on your block), alike.
Because of the potential danger to our environment, the government has required contractors to use a professional-grade inlet filter and to erect their own sediment control solutions and measures when starting any new project.
Fully Protects Curb and Median Inlets Without Grates
A study in curb inlet filter durability, Dandy Curb® stands alone compared to other curb inlet filters. The super-tough, innovative product is made specially for curb inlets and median inlets without grates. It is designed to handle the worst that sludge-filled stormwater has to offer, filtering out the slowed flow that is easily captured by the Dandy Curb prior to entering the inlet. Sediment doesn’t stand a chance. Best of all, Dandy Curb can be reused, saving you money across projects.

Installation
- Step 1: Place the Dandy Curb on the ground with aggregate pouch on street side near the inlet on which it will be installed.
- Step 2: Open Velcro® access pouch located on the street side of the unit.
- Step 3: If using optional oil absorbents, place sock in pouch and push back in pouch.
- Step 4: Fill pouch with aggregate to a level that will keep the unit in place during an event and create a seal between the Dandy Curb and the surface of the street.
- Step 5: Reseal Velcro® access. Center the unit against a curb or median inlet opening so that there is an equal length of the Dandy Curb overhanging on each side of the opening.
To keep Dandy Curb in good working order: Remove all accumulated sediment and debris from the surface and vicinity of the unit after each storm event. If using optional oil absorbents, remove and replace absorbents when they near saturation.
