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.
