Enabling trees to grow and coexist alongside dense urban infrastructure.
Trees are essential for urban spaces – they provide a shaded green canopy, reduce air pollution, and boost biodiversity, all of which help combat global warming and climate change. So why do so many urban areas still struggle with a lack of greenery?
The challenge lies in the cityscape itself. Urban trees require space, as well as access to healthy soil, air and water to thrive. Yet, urban environments often pose tough conditions for trees, with dense underground utilities, impervious asphalt surfaces, and compacted urban soils making it a hostile habitat for trees to grow.
How can we create thriving nature-based, urban forests amidst these challenges?
We need innovative, efficient and sustainable solutions that address these age-old problems and seamlessly integrate into the demanding urban infrastructure through a holistic approach.
TreeTube™ offers the perfect tree-planting solution to harmoniously accommodate an urban space’s various underground utilities by steering the tree roots through the TreeTube™ to their desired sub-surface positioning. The customizable system is delivered on-site, offering a quick, easy-to-install, durable system, adjustable to the urban space’s various needs.
The product’s circular design guarantees the required strength and durability to accommodate tree roots and allow them to coexist in complex underground infrastructures, while protecting neighboring utilities.
Effective stormwater management is crucial for mitigating the impact of increased precipitation and flooding, while keeping waterways clean and reducing risk of contamination in urban spaces.
TreeTube™ products are designed with a fully-embedded drainage mechanism, ensuring adequate integration into the city’s water infrastructure system. The design supports optimal photosynthesis for clean air and healthy tree growth.
