Application

Suitable for basal strengthening and tree root protection (TRP). The 200 mm deep version is required for heavier vehicle access, whilst the 150 mm deep version is generally suitable for use in areas trafficked by cars and light goods vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, including:

  • Access roads and parking areas
  • Driveways and paths
  • Permanent woodland trails
  • Temporary access roads and working platforms

Description

Abweb TRP is a no-dig / reduced-dig geocellular tree root protection alternative to traditional methods of constructing paths, roads and parking areas in and around trees. It is designed to protect the root structure of the tree from damage caused by the compaction of local soils as a result of vehicular traffic. It is manufactured from strips of high density polyethylene (HDPE) cross welded to form cells, the strips can also be perforated if required to allow the lateral movement of air and water through the structure.


Abweb TRP (tree root protection) is a geocell mattress which is expanded on site and then filled with a clean no-fines stone; the strength of the system comes from the containment of the stone within the structure, although unlike traditional construction this is achieved without compacting the stone and the subsequent loss of permeability.


Features and benefits:

  • Inexpensive
  • Honeycomb structure of polymer strips
  • Solid or perforated cell wall option
  • No / minimal excavation required
  • Prevents compaction around root structure
  • Quick and simple installation
  • Two size options are available
  • Can reduce the thickness of aggregate under loaded areas by up to 50%
