Feedback from the Field
"We used the device during an event in Downtown Austin and found not only did it
effectively contain the debris at the Inlet, it also greatly reduced the possibility of a
citizen tripping. The time spent for the installation, removal of the device and the clean-
up was minimal.“
"The conclusion is that The Expander Inlet Protection Device is an effective, efficient and
less expensive way to help control the amount of pollution that enters our waterways“
Tony Glass, COA SUPERINTENDENT
"The Inlet Expander device installed at 32nd and Tom Green continues to work beyond
expectations. During a recent rain event crews were asked to remove City Approved
protection. The project received minor amounts of precipitation 1/2" over two days
during this time the inlets with removed protection received about 1/2 " of deposited silt
and debris while the inlet expander trapped this 1/2" material before it entered the storm
system. Crews were able to remove and dispose of it properly with less than 5 min. of
effort“
Jeff Jewett , CONSTRUCTION INSPECTOR
"Overall, your product is well built and did exactly what an inlet protector should
do, stopping pollutants from entering the storm system while allowing water to
continually drain.”
