Erosion Control
Erosion control for steep sites: smart phasing, storm prep, and daily maintenance aligned with Tennessee EPSC guidance and TDOT expectations.
Protecting Your Site—and What’s Downstream
Davis & Sons designs, installs, and maintains erosion- and sediment-control systems that keep soil on site, safeguard waterways, and keep your project in compliance from day one. We combine practical field experience with proven BMPs (Best Management Practices) used across the construction industry.
Built for East Tennessee & Southwest Virginia
Our crews work the steep slopes, variable soils, and fast-changing weather of the Appalachian Highlands. We develop site-specific erosion control plans aligned with the Tennessee Construction General Permit (CGP) and Virginia stormwater standards, integrating requirements directly into your SWPPP and daily operations.
Compliance, Start to Finish
- SWPPP-ready plans that meet CGP expectations; we keep the latest plan on site and update it as conditions change.
- Permit alignment with TDEC’s Erosion Prevention & Sediment Control (EPSC) Handbook and Virginia DEQ stormwater handbooks.
- Documentation & inspections per permit: installation logs, corrective actions, and photo records for submittals and closeout.
What We Deliver
- Planning & Pre-Construction: site walk, slope and drainage review, sequencing/staging, SWPPP inputs.
- Installation: BMPs placed per spec, anchored for terrain/flows, marked for inspection.
- Maintenance & Monitoring: routine checks, storm-event responses, and timely repairs to keep controls effective.
- Stabilization & Closeout: temporary-to-permanent stabilization, seed/mulch or blankets, and demobilization.
Typical BMPs We Install & Maintain
Erosion control (prevents soil movement at the source):
- Temporary & permanent surface stabilization (hydroseeding, mulching, soil binders).
- Erosion control blankets/mats on steep or sensitive slopes.
- Diversion berms/swales to route clean water around disturbed areas.
Sediment control (captures what moves):
- Silt fence and wattles/fiber rolls for perimeter control.
- Inlet protection and rock check dams to slow flow and settle sediment.
- Sediment basins/traps sized for drainage area and onsite conditions.
Stabilization & Site Access:
- Construction entrances/exit pads to reduce track-out.
- Riprap & armoring at outfalls and channels to prevent scour.
Regional Know-How
We follow the latest TDEC EPSC Handbook guidance (including seed mix updates) and Virginia’s Stormwater Management Handbook specs—so what we install on your site matches what inspectors expect in this region.
Example Project Types
- New commercial sites: phased clearing, perimeter controls, basin install, stabilization by area.
- Municipal & roadway work: inlet protection, ditch checks, slope blankets, rapid stabilization.
- Industrial expansions: diversion routing, sediment basins, track-out control, SWPPP documentation.
- Steep-slope residential: blankets, wattles, staged seeding, and riprap at concentrated flows.
