CORE Filter Socks: New Production Hub Signals Growth

Waco, TX – In the ever-evolving world of erosion control, Millwood’s CORE Erosion Control brand has emerged as a pivotal player. After a 5-month long project, CORE filter socks are now being manufactured and shipped from our Waco, TX operation.

The project included the fabrication and installation of the systems to manufacture filter socks, a vital tool in sediment control.

“The key reasons for producing CORE filter sock at the Waco facility is an abundancy of mulch, strategic location for logistics and supporting the Austin plant with the uptick in CORE orders.” Dwayne Trafka, core operations manager, said.

At the beginning of the year, a decision was made to move forward with the project. Soon after, Trafka arranged the equipment and material to be delivered. 

He helped team members in Waco produce the finished CORE Erosion Control filter sock product and utilized team member Joe Tooker, from the Austin location, to assist in the training.   

“The new machine is running top notch,” Trafka said. “We’re excited to be able to offer the CORE filter socks to this region of Texas.”    

Filter socks are an essential component in erosion and sediment control strategies. These tubular fabric materials are filled with compost or other organic materials and are strategically placed to filter runoff, trap sediment and prevent soil erosion. They are highly effective in stabilizing construction sites, protecting water quality and preserving the local environment.

This project was designed to address the sediment control needs of a large construction site. The team worked diligently to ensure that the filter socks were constructed to the highest standards, using quality materials and innovative techniques.

Millwood’s mission is that all who come in contact with us would clearly see the love of Christ in all we do. A project this size called for teamwork and a lot of patience and will allow us to grow the CORE brand in Texas and spread His love with surrounding communities there.
