The ideal solution for the creation of urban green areas
The Cupolex Radici system is a patented solution that is advantageous both economically and in terms of speed of implementation. Targeted at landscapers and designers, this system allows for the rapid and effective construction of sidewalks, squares, or external concrete pavements that include trees, ensuring reliability and long-lasting durability. Thanks to the large volume of soil underneath, the solid and uncompacted infrastructure promotes optimal growth of trees and plants.
The solution offered by Pontarolo allows vegetation to grow without roots damaging the pavement, avoiding costly future restoration and maintenance interventions.
The Cupolex Radici system, made up of components manufactured from recycled plastic, integrates easily with irrigation systems, is easy to install, and serves as the formwork for pouring concrete. As a result, the pavement becomes a robust reinforced concrete slab, where the load, which can be substantial, is transferred to the pillars and the ground, without compressing the part of the soil intended for the growth of tree roots.
The applications of this system are numerous: from tree-lined parking lots, sidewalks, squares, roundabouts, and bike paths to large landscaping projects.
In the case of existing trees with root systems that have damaged urban pavement, Cupolex Radici Esistenti is used instead, providing stable, load-bearing, nutrient-rich soil as well as air and water to improve the plant's quality of life while drastically reducing maintenance costs.
Cupolex Radici Esistenti solves the problem of protruding roots while also enhancing the plants' tensile strength, reducing the risk of falling in adverse weather conditions.
Advantages of the urban green system
⦁ Reinforced concrete structure and pavement instead of plastic material
⦁ Ample space for root development, ensuring greater stability for trees
⦁ Provides easy access to water, oxygen, and nutrients for roots
⦁ Prevents root emergence and protects pavement from damage and deformations
⦁ Simplified integration with irrigation systems
⦁ Provision of tanks for rainwater collection, integrated with the urban landscape
⦁ Ability to achieve extensive volumes up to a height of 250 cm, with modular increments of one centimeter.
⦁ High load capacity, suitable for vehicle passage
⦁ More cost-effective and reliable compared to systems entirely made of plastic
⦁ Flexibility to adapt to any project type
⦁ Reduced environmental impact and complete recyclability at the end of the life cycle
