Iglu disposable formwork

19 Application example: anti-root cavities Advantages: • There are no maintenance costs for the sidewalk/bike path. • Greater “satisfaction” for residents who will not have to complain about damaged pavements. • Fewer accidents involving the elderly or people with limited motor skills. • Levelling with great savings in inert material. Method for preparing a roof-top garden: - Preparation of the support. - Passing the systems. - Positioning of the Iglù® modules. - Filling with expanded clay or gravel. - Laying of the geotextile. - Filling with soil. Urban greenery has become an indispensable aspect for improving the quality of life and making cities more vibrant and colourful. The idea to create a city garden was developed almost 200 years ago, and in Italy the trend is to create parks, urban woods and “green belts”. Often, however, the green is simply inserted to the side of roads, on sidewalks or bicycle paths. Maintenance work must be carried out regularly as the tree roots lift up the pavement until breaking through and then going back underground, following a horizontal path. The Iglù® system can eliminate this problem. By creating a cavity with Iglù® around the trees below road level, the tree is "deceived"; the roots, in fact, will reach the layer of air and then follow a horizontal path without breaking or damaging the overhead pavement. Application example: roof-top garden A roof-top garden is the most successful solution against the continuous cementification of the territory. They have been used since ancient times, as demonstrated by the roof-top gardens of Babylon. Today, the techniques and materials for their creation have evolved and their use have become fundamentally important. Iglù® is ideal for creating roof-top gardens, making them safe to create without damaging waterproofi ng, solving the problem of the passage of systems and providing solutions for draining and ventilating green spaces, which are necessary for the garden. It also makes it possible to level the surface without burdening the structure.
