For years, Industrial Plastics have supplied HDPE fish baffles to help councils, contractors and environmental managers support fish migration through culverts and drainage channels. Now, we’re excited to expand our baffle range with steel fish baffles for projects where SD 1270 compliance is required.
What are Fish Baffles?
Fish baffles facilitate fish migration through man-made obstacles, allowing them to feed, spawn and thrive, which ultimately protects the ecological health of our waterways. They have also been strategically implemented to improve erosion control and flood risk management by reducing the velocity of concentrated water flows against riverbanks.
Why Choose Steel Fish Baffles?
While our HDPE baffles remain popular for their lightweight design, UV stability and durability, some projects don’t allow deviation from SD 1270 and steel is required.
Steel Fish Baffles & Corrosion Treatments
Untreated steel exposed to water environments is vulnerable to corrosion. That’s why we offer protective treatments to ensure our steel baffles deliver decades of reliable service, even in harsh conditions. Options include:
- Hot-Dip Galvanizing: Provides a protective zinc coating for exceptional corrosion resistance, ideal for freshwater installations.
- Epoxy and Polymer Coatings: Offer a barrier against chemical exposure and abrasion, ensuring smooth water flow and fish safety.
By combining structural strength with the right protective treatment, our steel fish baffles maintain long-term performance while reducing long-term operating costs.
