Armadillo Silt Shield installation guide

Before installation, ensure all work is carried out in accordance with site-specific policies, environmental management plans, and relevant health and safety (EHS) practices. Always use appropriate PPE and follow best practices for manual handling and working around drainage systems.

Kit includes

• Insert plate
• Bucket
• Filtration bag

Hinge open the gully grating past 90 degrees to prevent accidental closure. Ensure the gully is clear of debris before installing the SiltShield system.

Slide the insert plate into its closed position so that it can clear the gully’s internal features as it is lowered into the frame.

Slide extend the insert plate outward until the steel hanger hooks securely engage onto the designated receiving points inside the frame on both sides.

Place the filtration bag inside the bucket, wrapping the elastic seam over the rim edge. Lower the bucket, with the bag fitted, into the gully using lifting keys.

Carefully close the hinged gully grating, ensuring it rests securely in place and sits flush with the frame’s top surface.

Maintenance frequency depends on silt accumulation- empty when nearly full. Use long-handled lifting keys to remove the bucket safely, empty collected debris into an appropriate container, and reinsert securely.
