Parks and Gardens is placing the new aggregate and conducting maintenance pruning trees in the area
The Department of Parks and Gardens Department of the Environment and are placing your alcorque ecological, economic, permeable, safe and resistant casuarinas twenty located in the Plaza del Romea.
Also are being taken to perform maintenance pruning trees in the area
This new alcorque called ecologico.es, already installed in the trees of the Plaza de San Bartolomé, a double function:
1) The alcorques ecologicos.es are permeable and breathable, with a double and detailed construction techniques, as aggregates "recycled" employees come from the municipal treatment plant of inerts.
Aggregates allow, by epoxy-bonded, perspiration and permeability desired for be small gaps between them.
This also is enhanced with a cylinder diameter drainage and breathability 18/20 m / m, located in a box a distance of 15 inches between each.
The upper surface is given a slight slope into the tree surround to take advantage of rainwater and also leaves an empty space drainage around the tree trunk so as not to "drown" the tree and therefore allow your breathing .
2) The alcorques ecologicos.es are also resistant to both normal maintenance vehicle traffic and pedestrian circulation to both the substrate layer of recycled aggregates Loose 8 / 10 inches, for the top layer also recycled aggregates our treatment plant Municipal inert, 8 / 10 inches thick, bonded with epoxy resin.
In this way, with this covering is solved two problems existing with other techniques:
1) They must be sufficiently permeable and breathable, allowing the tree to breathe inside to outside and irrigation at the top by hand watering or rain to the bottom of the tree surround to tree roots.
2) It must be sufficiently strong and durable, allowing the passage and treatment on the machines for maintenance and cleaning of public roads and allow the transit of citizens.
The main advantages of this type of tree pits alcorques respect to traditional concrete or metal are as follows
* Use of organic material from municipal recycling plant of inert waste.
* Low cost of implementation and low maintenance costs.
* Passage of water permeability, which allows watering of trees.
* Color "wood", as an integrated part of the tree (brown trunk) and in turn differentiated from the pavement perimeter, which gives singularity.
* Continuous height / ground on the pavement perimeter that surrounds it, avoiding steps and discontinuity perimeter.
* Provides an effect "demonstration" of urban ecology, as the basic material used comes from recycling and get a result of both chromatic and textural singled, innovative process and nice color appearance, incorporating sustainable design criteria and is therefore environmentally friendly.
