R-Tank UrbanForest
R-Tank UrbanForest integrates trees into green infrastructure possibilities and promotes healthy tree growth, offering cooling, shade and aesthetic enhancements for urban areas. Traditional soil cells use both aggregate and soil to support surface loads and provide nutrients for tree health.
UrbanForest elevates this principle by replacing aggregate with engineered modules that support pavement loads and provide a free, uncompacted root zone for trees. UrbanForest provides open space for roots to grow and access key elements such as soil, air and water. After trees flourish, their ability to serve as treatment devices blooms, too. By integrating drainage elements, these urban oases provide stormwater benefits such as runoff reduction, evapotranspiration and nutrient uptake.
