Description

The GreenBlue Urban RootSpace Pavement Support System is an engineered load-bearing soil cell with over 95% open void space for maximum rooting volume as well as the ability to accommodate services.


RootSpace G2 is manufactured in the UK from 100% recycled material, available in 400 mm and 600 mm depth with a 75 mm AirFlow lid.


ArborCells are added to the RootSpace soil cell system to provide immediate attenuation and spread the incoming water throughout the soil area. Specialized bio-retentive soils have been designed to work within these systems.


Priced per metre squared, including geotextiles. GRN20 & GLTWGNA . Additional items for SuDS compliance are ArborCells, Hessian and Close Weave Mesh .


Aeration with soil cells is essential. (Arborvent)


Features:

  • Open lattice leg provides unlimited access for all the roots to 100% of the void space.
  • 100% recycled material; alternative ‘RootSpace Ocean’ marine waste version available (product code suffix ‘-OP’).
  • The aeration deck lid provides aeration to the entire system.
  • Lateral interlocking grid layout and side infill panels provide lateral strength characteristics where necessary.
  • BBA approved.


Benefits:

  • Optimum conditions for soil biology maximizing root growth and tree health.
  • Fast, simple and easy to assemble reducing installation time and costs.
  • Ease of assembling around complex pipes and services.
  • Designed for easy re-excavation for maintenance of utilities.
  • Minimum excavation depths are required.
  • Can be used close to highways.
  • Minimum carbon footprint due to 100% UK manufacture and highly efficient transport volumes.
  • Can be laid in multiples - 400 mm, 600 mm, 800 mm and 1000 mm.
