Integration of living walls into urban areas is essential to create greener cities, improve biodiversity, mitigate the urban heat island effect and poor air quality. We offer two unique CPD’s Living Walls ‘Breathing Life into Cities’ - Design, Installation, Maintenance and Benefits The Scotscape Living Wall is a light-weight semi-hydroponic modular panel system constructed from a patented advanced Fytotextile fabric. Each square metre holds up to 49 plants in individual pockets. Each panel incorporates a dripline to irrigate the plants through the fabric. Panels can be fitted to flat or curved surfaces and are planted on site. The system is designed for rapid installation by a small specialist team, minimizing on-site disruption and downtime. Our system benefits from a Class Zero fire retardancy rating making it one of the safest living wall systems for specification in the built environment. FLEX MSE civil engineering living wall product - Design, Installation, Applications Flex MSE® (Mechanically Stabilised Earth) is a patented soil-based system used to build naturally resilient and flexible Geo-modular retaining structures of up to almost any height and length.
