Standard Specification for Inlet Filters with a Rigid Frame

ABSTRACT
This specification covers the manufacturing and test requirements for geosynthetic storm sewer inlet filters used in highway drainage, roadway, residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The inlet filter is comprised of a rigid frame and a removable geosynthetic sediment bag. The sediment bag hangs suspended from the rigid frame and includes a bypass that shall allow water flow into the drainage structure if the bag is completely filled with sediment. Water flow through the bypass shall equal or exceed the design flow of the inlet required at a specified drainage location. The filter can be used with round, rectangular, gutter, rolled curb, and curb inlet types. The rigid frame shall be designed to support the design load on the frame, and must be capable of supporting the full design load without deformation when the grate is removed. The frame shall not interfere with or elevate the grate more than 1/8 in. The sediment bag shall be manufactured from a geotextile material or a composite of geotextile and geosynthetic reinforcement. When used for removal of trash or large debris only, the geosynthetic sediment bag may be constructed of open-weave geosynthetic. The requirements of this specification are intended to provide an inlet filter system to collect sediment, trash, leaves, and other storm water contaminants from surface storm water runoff at drainage inlet locations during temporary site construction.
This specification also covers ordering information and product marking.

Overview

ASTM D8057-17 is the internationally recognized standard specification for geosynthetic storm sewer inlet filters with a rigid frame. Developed by ASTM International, this standard establishes the manufacturing, performance, and testing requirements for inlet filters used in highway drainage, roadways, residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The specification covers key aspects such as filter construction, materials, load requirements, and filtration efficiency, ensuring effective control of sediment, trash, leaves, and other stormwater contaminants during periods of temporary site construction.

Key Topics

  • Filter Construction and Components

    • Inlet filters must consist of a rigid frame and a removable geosynthetic sediment bag.
    • The sediment bag is suspended from the frame and includes a bypass feature to maintain water flow into the drainage system, even when filled.
    • Frames must support the full design load without deformation or impacting the drainage structure's grate position.
  • Material Specifications

    • Sediment bags are constructed from geotextile materials, or a composite of geotextile and geosynthetic reinforcement, meeting AASHTO M288 requirements for subsurface drainage.
    • When designed for trash or debris removal, open-weave geosynthetics may be used as specified by the design engineer.
  • Hydraulic Performance

    • Bypass flow must equal or exceed the design flow of the inlet to avoid flooding when the sediment bag is fully loaded.
    • Frames and sediment bags must be sized and constructed for effective sediment capture and safe water bypassing.
  • Testing and Quality Requirements

    • Filtration efficiency must meet a minimum of 80% gross removal efficiency, tested according to ASTM D7351 or ASTM D5141 for sediment retention.
    • Product marking requirements include manufacturer information, product codes, and batch details for traceability.

Applications

ASTM D8057-17 inlet filters are essential devices for stormwater management in various infrastructure projects:

  • Highway and Roadway Drainage: Used to prevent clogging of storm sewers by trapping sediment and debris at drainage inlets during construction activities.
  • Residential and Commercial Sites: Reduce local flooding risks and protect water quality by minimizing the discharge of construction-related pollutants.
  • Industrial Facilities: Provide compliance with environmental regulations by filtering surface runoff before it enters municipal stormwater systems.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for round, rectangular, gutter, rolled curb, and curb inlet types, making them adaptable to diverse site requirements.

Related Standards

For optimal selection and utilization of geosynthetic inlet filters in stormwater management, the following ASTM and AASHTO standards are relevant:

  • ASTM D4439 - Terminology for Geosynthetics
  • ASTM D5141 - Test Method for Determining Filtering Efficiency and Flow Rate of the Filtration Component of a Sediment Retention Device
  • ASTM D7351 - Test Method for Determination of Sediment Retention Device Effectiveness in Sheet Flow Applications
  • AASHTO M288 - Geotextile Materials

Understanding and applying ASTM D8057-17 ensures compliance, performance, and durability in sediment containment during temporary construction, protecting infrastructure and the environment through effective stormwater filtration.
