root protection area surfacing<\/h1>\n

Root Protection areas need no longer be of major hindrance within planning approval for construction. We have in-depth
\nknowledge on no-dig root protection systems that are concordant with BS5837; 2012. The system works by spreading vertical
\nloads of traffic or construction materials, ensuring soil bulk density remains well within tolerable levels. This control measure
\nensures no harm to the tree through compaction, soil dehydration or gaseous exchange.
\nThe cellular confinement technology is extremely flexible and can as easily be used as a temporary road or a permanent
\ninstallation. We can ensure significant savings are made in materials through our in-depth understanding of the principals behind
\nthe technology. We have a close liaison with the manufacturer to reduce the amount of material infill needed through clever design.
\nUtilising Cellular confinement systems enables us to work with the manufacturing designers to overcome many obstacles,
\nespecially heavy construction vehicular traffic, permanent installation as a foundation for roads, carparks and footpaths and
\nnegotiating significant level drops and inclines on the site.<\/p>\n

Through our close relationship with the manufacturers design team, the control measures are all site specific,
\nenabling us to provide the best quality service, most adaptable and relevant solutions thus creating a saving in cost and
\nthe most appropriate application of the confinement technology.<\/p>\n

Advantages to the tree and site include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • We can offer a guarantee that the tree will not be effected from installation and permanent<\/strong>
    \n placement of the cellular confinement technology<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • A porous surface and permeable geotextiles allow the water to drain into<\/strong>
    \n the soil gradually, keeping roots hydrated and reducing surface run off and associated flooding<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Gaseous exchange from the soil as pour space within the infill is kept large<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • A required control measure to hydrocarbon pollution used as part of the confinement system<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Saving on material costs through intelligent design.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
