Showcase
A closer look at this build-up Frederiksberg Kommune Copenhagen:
Handeling large volumes of rainwater and wanting Trees and no space in the ground, all at the same time.
We place a high priority on creating solutions that meet the best sustainability standards.
Solution
Trees capillary System
With the Permavoid Capillary Irrigation System an artificial groundwater level is created beneath the rootzone, mimicking groundwater in a natural situation, enabling the growing site to capture, store and reuse stormwater for irrigation. In this arrangement trees prevent stormwater entering the sewer whilst simultaneously enjoying a water reservoir to sustain growth during prolonged dry spells.
The Permavoid Capillary Irrigation System is equipped with specially developed fiber columns that provide capillary transport of water from the Permavoid retention buffer to the rootable soil above. This natural irrigation system uses no energy and maintains a consistent soil moisture content such that the tree experiences a very stable groundwater level, allowing it to thrive in the urban environment.
