The In-Stream Sediment Collector is a recently patented and
innovative stream sediment removal device. This new technology
consists of a stainless steel "box" with a ramped front and slot
opening on top which allows the slowing particles ascending the
ramp to fall into an internal hopper. Using a remote adjustable
timer switch, the sand/sediment within the collector is
periodically purged via suction, pumping the sand/water slurry to
a contained upland site. The device is intended for removal of
excessive stream sediments and as an instrument for accurately
measuring bedload sediments.
The collectors are constructed as rectangular "boxes" with the
top being a ramped edge. They are fastened to the stream bottom
with spikes or rods. The force of the stream passing over the
units causes a significant downward pressure, even more so under
floodflow conditions, ensuring the units are secure. Bedload
sediments and water pass over the ramped top. Slowed particles
fall into a slot on top of the collector and remain in a
collection hopper. The collectors can be constructed of various
sizes and materials. The Series I is made of laser cut, TIG-welded
304 series, 11 gage stainless steel in four foot or eight foot
wide sections that can be used individually or fastened end-to-end
to any desired width.
