Nowhere is the fight for space and soil volume felt more acutely than in the heart of the capital. This is precisely why we sent our very own Howard Gray to work in conjunction with John Parker<\/strong> – TfL & Chair of LTOA and his team to integrate our StrataCell system<\/a> into a complex tree pit scenario along Blackfriars Road<\/strong>, London.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In collaboration with TfL<\/a> and Barcham Trees<\/a> the following test was implemented in 2014:<\/p>\n

Four identical species and size of tree (Platanus hispanicus 18-20cm girth) were planted in Blackfriars Road, as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Tree planted in 2.5m StrataCell 30 series, with RootDirector RD640<\/li>\n
  2. Tree planted in larger 4m Stratacell pit, but with ReR300 root management and Double inlet Arborvent<\/li>\n
  3. Tree planted is compacted structural soil<\/li>\n
  4. Control tree \u2013 standard TFL detail, planted previous season.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      We can observe the necessity of building the cell system around existing services. It is not always possible to divert essential services and utilities and therefore this is a solution that enables a cross section of stakeholders to work together to realise an end result which includes urban trees.<\/p>\n

      \"\" Services at Blackfriars.<\/p>\n

      Space is obviously at a premium and it is therefore critical that the cells can be installed alongside root management products to ensure that tree pits can be placed as close to the highway as possible to provide enough space to enable the optimum effectiveness of approach.<\/p>\n

      As we can see from the above image, we often face a plethora of challenges at the very outset of the excavation phase, including heavily compacted and poor-quality soil as well as services close to the paved surface.<\/p>\n

      It is safe to say that GBU are proud of the first 2 tree pits in soil cells, the trees are clearly flourishing the 3rd in structural soil has unfortunately now gone as has the staked tree planted the previous year.\u00a0 The road has also re-structured with movement of the bus stop and introduction of cycle path therefore encouragement of modal shift with increased canopy cover.<\/p>\n
