ABSTRACT:
A linear modular erosion and sediment control barrier is constructed of fiber logs joined end-to-end, the logs having a maximum length of about 8 feet long. Each fiber log is made of a quantity of loose fibers retained in a tubular casing by a plug. The tubular casing includes an extended section which is peeled back and folds over the end of the coupler fiber log during storage and transportation. When deployed, the extended section is unfolded to receive the end of an adjacent fiber log. The two fiber logs are secured together by a cord and hooks. The combination of a plurality of coupler fiber logs on the surface of a pallet is particularly suited for storing and transporting the logs. Transporting and storing the preferred embodiments of the novel combination requires less space, reduces the incidence of log rupture during storage and/or transportation, ultilizes conventional equipment and provides for reduced storing, transportation and handling costs related to the installation of a erosion control barrier.
