GBURS42A-OP
Pavement support system for SuDS tree pits.
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)
