LANDSCAPING SERVICES
First regulate the surface and ensure to cover any exposed roots with a sharp sand or rootzone material . Install our specialist TRP membrane and lay CORE TRP panels over the top , pin the panels open and fill with an angular reduced fines sub base material - such as a clean limestone . The depth of the TRP Panel will depend on CBR value of existing soil and weight of traffic . You are now ready for your permeable wearing course .
Temporary Construction Site Traffic
Our cellular confinement system – CORE Tree Root Protection – is the perfect solution for creating temporary site access through woodland or areas that are obstructed by well-established trees . It can be installed with ease and can take the weight of all types of construction traffic & machinery , even a piling rig !
Our panels come flat packed which makes it easy for on-site handling and transportation . We can supply all the necessary accessories ; membranes , pins , connecting studs that you will need to complete the install .
What Traffic Types Can Use This System ?
Cellular confinement systems are employed to enable all traffic types to use that area whilst ensuring that the tree roots of the tree remain protected . Our particular system is available in 5 depths : 50mm , 75mm , 100mm , 150mm and 200mm . For pedestrian use , 50mm is to be used for walkways , public pathways , and woodland paths . The 75mm is used in similar areas to the 50mm but covers cycle paths too or all traffic under 1 tonne . The 100mm is used for all domestic vehicle use – and the 150 & 200mm panel is for HGV access and construction traffic .
How Is The System Laid ?
Unlike traditional methods of road and driveway construction , there is no excavation required to install our cellular confinement system : CORE Tree Root Protection .
Once the build has been completed , the CORE TRP cellular confinement system can be easily removed from site leaving the ground looking like it was never touched . Better still it can be left in place as subbase for a porous wearing course , just remove the top layer of infill material and you will be ready to install the porous wearing course of your choice . www . corelp . co . uk
