Challenge

A car parking solution was needed for an urban area with an existing tree stock. This was to ensure adequate space for nearby café facilities, play areas for children, accessibility and seating, as well as space for additional trees.

Solution

Green Grid's RootBridge root protection system was chosen for this project. The RootBridge, which has a 7.5cm-high structure, can be installed over existing roots and can support loads up to 15kN. The entire structure is placed on screw foundations that ensure no damage in the root zone for the required load.
