Research and development have been fundamental to the progress at GreenBlue Urban. Multi-disciplinary collaboration with universities, laboratories, engineers, industry specialists, end users etc, provides a solid foundation for research and testing. Long term, real-life monitoring of controlled systems provides invaluable data to improve the efficiency of green-blue systems and support further growth and success. Recent studies and research include the below.
It has historically been difficult to reliably assess what is happening in the rooting zone of a tree. Whilst core sampling can be useful, it only gives us information at a point in time, rather than informing us of the changes over time, and during different seasons. Modern sensor technology, with state-of-the-art communication equipment, has been installed at the Gospel Hall development adjacent to our HQ in East Sussex.
The tree pit installation at Maynard Avenue, Margate, Kent was carried out as part of the Cool Towns pilot study, designed to evaluate different options to help reduce the effects of Heat Stress in urban areas. Whilst the trees and the cooling effect are being monitored by the EU Interreg program and participating universities, GreenBlue Urban have invested in below ground water outflow monitoring equipment.
As a mark of our confidence in the ArborSystem tree pit package, GreenBlue Urban can offer a 15 year tree health warranty for every tree planted in accordance with our ArborAdvance tree planting methodology.
