Frequently Asked Questions

What is erosion and sediment control?

Erosion and sediment control refers to preventative measures designed to stabilise land, reduce soil erosion, and prevent sediment runoff from construction sites. These measures help protect waterways, infrastructure, and surrounding environments from damage caused by displaced soil.

Why is erosion and sediment control important?

Uncontrolled erosion can lead to land degradation, water pollution, and regulatory non-compliance. Proper sediment control helps:

  • Prevent soil loss and maintain land stability.

  • Protect nearby waterways from sediment contamination.

  • Ensure compliance with local council regulations and resource consents.

Reduce project delays and costs related to environmental damage.

What erosion control measures does Civix offer?

We provide a range of erosion and sediment control solutions, including:

  • Silt fences – To trap sediment and prevent runoff.

  • Check dams – To slow water flow and reduce soil displacement.

  • Gabions – Wire mesh baskets filled with rocks for slope stabilisation.

  • Soil stabilisation techniques – Such as hydroseeding and erosion control blankets.

Stormwater management systems – To control runoff and minimise erosion risks.

Do I need resource consent for erosion and sediment control?

Yes, many councils require resource consent for construction projects that may cause significant land disturbance or sediment runoff. Civix can assist in securing the necessary approvals and ensuring all control measures meet council requirements.

How do I know what type of erosion control plan I need?

The size, location, and environmental risk factors of your project will determine the best erosion and sediment control strategy. Civix offers custom erosion control plans tailored to your site's needs, whether it's a small residential build or a large commercial development.

Can erosion control help with natural disaster protection?

Yes, advanced erosion control systems can help protect against landslides, flooding, and extreme weather events by improving soil stability and managing stormwater flow.

Does Civix provide erosion control solutions across New Zealand?

Yes, Civix works with clients nationwide, offering erosion and sediment control services for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects across New Zealand.
