Harvey Hadden - installing the ArborRaft system

The project has been recently completed ahead of its official opening in September 2015. The state of the art facilities include a 50 metre swimming pool, a changing village, a 1.5km closed road cycling circuit, an upgraded eight lane 400m indoor athletics track, refurbished sports hall, three squash courts, badminton and tennis courts, five improved grass football pitches, two multi-use studios for aerobics, dance and gymnastics, a health suite, gym, pool viewing and spectator seating, vending area and cafeteria facilities.

As a result of the development a large existing tree had be replaced. The contract to do this was awarded to family business Carrier Landscapes Ltd.

The ArborRaft Tree Planting System is a revolutionary system which is installed at the sub-base and offers load-bearing support whilst reducing soil compaction and directing root growth away from the surface in urban environments.

 

To complete the look and offer protection from vehicles and pedestrians Green-tech also supplied a gt Dales Collection tree grille and guard. Manufactured in cast iron these items are expected to last up to 100 years.
