- 3. IPC Inlet Protection Company Why We’re Here • Storm drain systems are primarily designed for flood control, not pollution control • Storm water carries clogging debris like floatables (pollution), erosion, leaves and yard waste into our catch basins and storm drains • Routine and emergency cleaning of catch basins is expensive • Debris that does not clog up the system ends up polluting our waterways and the cost is as astonishing as the tons of litter being removed We help significantly curtail these costs
- 4. IPC Inlet Protection Company Expander Inlet Protector Our line of patent pending Expander Inlet Protectors have brackets that expand to securely fasten the steel and rubber tubing framework within the mouth of the inlet. This framework holds a variety of filtration media – landscaping cloth, fiberglass screening and ½” cloth mesh – which provide protection from erosion and/or floatables while allowing for exceptional drainage. As gravity pulls stormwater through the filters, pollution is stopped!

- 11. IPC Inlet Protection Company 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.” Duane Herrera, SWMP TECH, City of Temple Drainage Department
