Key Challenges
A new access road and verge parking areas were planned to accommodate the increased traffic, however, space on site is at a premium and locating these areas was a challenge for the client and design team.
Solution
The only route available for the new road would encroach on the root protection areas of existing trees. This presented the designers with the challenge of creating this much needed route without causing damage to the root structure of the existing trees.
The designers selected our InfraWeb 200mm Tree Root Protection no dig system to build an access road above existing soil over the RPA of the mature trees.
- Angled parking spaces were created using our Gravel Pro 35 porous paving system.
- Plastic inserts to delineate the bays.
- Gravel Pro 35 was placed on our InfraWeb TRP system to reduce the sub base thickness required.
- Remove the need for conventional drainage systems.
