What happens here

Two workers are shown in the video placing black, flexible 'bio rolls' or 'bio logs' into the bucket of the skid steer. The narrator explains that these rolls are essential for erosion control, especially given the recent heavy rainfall and the exposed, raw dirt from the excavation. These bio rolls are designed to effectively filter sediment and slow down water flow, preventing soil erosion and keeping raw dirt from washing into the stormwater system. The presenter notes their surprising effectiveness, even after significant rain.

Goal: Implement effective erosion control to protect newly graded areas from rain.

What they say

Hide

the slab and back towards the house with the grading started we've got to protect against the erosion control this has been the wettest year in Minnesota history and we've been getting rain every few days so that means we've got to put something down to protect all that raw dirt from going into the storm water system do you guys use silt fence because on this jobsite we're actually using we call them bio rolls or bio logs and it actually works really effectively almost as good as silt fence and I was actually surprised by how well this worked cuz we got poured on after we put these in place and it worked out pretty well
