Silt trap construction / Muhammad Izzat Shafizuddin Pearl Noorhazizan Pearl

If there are no water reservoirs and good rainwater catchment systems in Malaysia, the high probability of rain will result in floods. There are methods for preventing this from happening, such as installing silt traps. Nowadays, construction sites make extensive use of silt traps because to prevent waste fragments such as rocks from escaping into urban drains, water from the construction site must first be filtered through a silt trap. Before beginning excavation or fill work, sediment traps and basins should be installed in designated drainage areas. An excavation or a dike made of earth or stone can provide ponding areas containment. Low-lying areas on the downhill side of bare soil areas are ideal for constructing temporary sediment traps and basins. Sediment traps are typically designed to treat runoff from 1 to 5 acres. Sediment basins are larger and serve areas greater than 5 acres in size. Basins draining areas larger than 10 acres necessitate an engineered design and are frequently designed to function as a permanent stormwater treatment pond once construction is completed. The purpose of this report is to explore how crucial silt trap that used in construction site. The main focus on this report are located near decathlon Shah Alam for project stem museum. It also contains about safety issues and purpose the based solution for this issue based on NIOSH.
