The Root CauseThrough The Root Cause, we want to start a conversation across the industry about the hidden but critical role of tree root protection. By highlighting buyer expectations alongside practical solutions, our aim is to support new build developers in creating schemes that deliver for both people and the planet. ProtectaWeb is just one part of this, but it is a vital tool for ensuring that the trees which give character, beauty and biodiversity to our communities are safeguarded for generations to come.
BlogGeocells hold underestimated potential within modern constructionDesign engineers and contractors face increasing demands to use environmentally sustainable construction methods and materials. Adverse weather conditions, from storms and heavy rainfall to hotter, drier summers, can also have a huge impact on their projects. It’s a juggling act that has led to the growth in popularity of geocells. Projects that demand strong ground stabilisation techniques, reliable slope reinforcement and essential tree root protection can all benefit. Geocells provide cellular confinement for various types of material infill, offering a durable solution for erosion control on embankments and slopes, even steep ones, and reducing the number of materials needed to create stability and protection.
Looking for tree root protection?ProtectaWeb prevents damage to tree rootsWhether you're building pathways, roads, car parks or lorry parks, ProtectaWeb provides reliable tree root protection in all types of soil, without any digging required. The system is simply placed on the existing ground, filled and finished with a porous surface. The cells are filled with a clean angular stone which allows drainage and aeration through the cells. Perforated cell walls provide drainage, minimising hydrostatic build up while ensuring the maximum supply of water to the tree roots, even when installed on a gradient. |
