The In-Stream Sediment Collector is a recently patented and innovative stream sediment removal device. This new technology consists of a stainless steel "box" with a ramped front and slot opening on top which allows the slowing particles ascending the ramp to fall into an internal hopper. Using a remote adjustable timer switch, the sand/sediment within the collector is periodically purged via suction, pumping the sand/water slurry to a contained upland site. The device is intended for removal of excessive stream sediments and as an instrument for accurately measuring bedload sediments.

The collectors are constructed as rectangular "boxes" with the top being a ramped edge. They are fastened to the stream bottom with spikes or rods. The force of the stream passing over the units causes a significant downward pressure, even more so under floodflow conditions, ensuring the units are secure. Bedload sediments and water pass over the ramped top. Slowed particles fall into a slot on top of the collector and remain in a collection hopper. The collectors can be constructed of various sizes and materials. The Series I is made of laser cut, TIG-welded 304 series, 11 gage stainless steel in four foot or eight foot wide sections that can be used individually or fastened end-to-end to any desired width.
