CORE Root Protector the APN12 COMPLIANT ‘NO DIG’ SOLUTION to a growing problem

Above-Ground, No-Dig Construction –

 (Driveways close to trees). APN12 advises that a driveway can only be installed, within a root protection area, if it can be done so without tree roots and the surrounding soil being damaged.

The British standards institution has published guidance notes BS 5837:2005 on how to protect trees during development.

The ‘No Dig’ construction can be achieved by using perforated CORErootprotector available in depths of 50mm, 100mm, 150mm and 200mm.

When filled with granular materials, the system creates a three dimensional erosion barrier and structural bridge that uniformly distributes weight-bearing loads. The cellular nature of CORErootprotector confines free draining sub- base materials, stabilising the ground whilst enhancing drainage and preventing build-up of hydrostatic pressure.

PROTECTS TREE ROOTS FROM DAMAGE CAUSED BY EXCAVATION AND TRAFFIC LOADS

Unlike traditional methods of road and driveway construction, there is no excavation required to install CORErootprotector. It forms a high load bearing, shallow permeable sub-base above ground. CORErootprotector is suitable for the construction of permanent and temporary site access roads where access is limited by the presence of tree roots and can be removed on completion or left in situ as a permanent sub base structure for a suitable permeable wearing course.
