ProtectaWeb installation for an access road in Wicklow, Ireland

ProtectaWeb™ keeps Wicklow property refurbishment on track

During the refurbishment of a residential property, as well as its surrounding outbuildings and grounds, our ProtectaWeb™ solution helped preserve 200-year-old trees bordering the necessary new access road in Wicklow, Ireland.

Our team worked with the appointed contractor Clonlough Contractors to install our tree root projection solution quickly and efficiently. More than 200m² of ProtectaWeb™ was used, successfully reducing the loads imposed on soils and tree roots to prevent undue stress and possible damage from being caused.

Ben Reid, site manager at Clonlough Contractors, said: “ProtectaWeb™ is an excellent solution when it comes to construction projects involving mature tree heritage. We were able to bring forward plans for a new access road without comprising a strong and stable surface, while also doing our bit to maintain environmental stewardship through tree root protection.”
