The land developer’s ability to increase usable land has become an important economic factor in all segments of land development. Increasingly faced with the challenge of maximising land use for transportation and infrastructure facilities, residential, commercial, and industrial developments, designers encounter difficult topographic characteristics and soil conditions.
StrataGreen, an environment-friendly green-faced solution, can substantially increase usable land for change-of-grade applications. In addition, the cost associated with StrataGreen is significantly lower than those associated with comparable alternates. StrataGreen can lead to many interesting benefits such as creating usable space at the top or toe of the slope and eliminating the cost of concrete facing elements.
StrataGreen can therefore be constructed steeper than the soil’s natural angle of repose. StrataGreen increases the usable land and offers the land developer the flexibility to create stable structures that fit the natural contours of the land.
Create a look to match the architect’s vision
StrataGreen’s versatility allows for various facing options to meet specific site soil and aesthetic requirements. Whether slope faces are vegetated to blend in with the surrounding environment or treated with a myriad of veneers, StrataGreen is the perfect design solution.
Advantages
Pre fabricated facing units which are faster to procure
Permeable nature eliminates build up of hydrostatic pressure behind the retaining structure
Less material handling at site
Easier and faster to install
Permits growth of vegetation and maintains existing environment
Green environment-friendly looks
Stability increases with age as further consolidation takes place when vegetation establishes itself
