SedumCanopy-Light
Green bus stop system with light structure and increased drought tolerance
SedumCanopy-Light is an innovative and environmentally friendly solution for bus stops, designed to withstand the driest conditions. This ultra-light structure bus station effectively integrates an extensive green roof system, providing comfort and environmental benefits in the urban environment.
It is an economical solution because it can be installed without irrigation systems, the nutrition and hydration of the plants being ensured by the component layers of the system. SedumCanopy-Light is the safest option for drought management due to its tolerance to extreme climates and adaptability in arid areas.
The system consists of special technical layers with an extremely light structure that facilitates water circulation, provides increased water retention and it is composed of plant species with high drought tolerance.
The support tray of the station is made without joints, thus reducing possible leaks or drips from the green roof system. It is installed with a special substrate made of recyclable materials with enhanced water retention, which allows effective hydration of the plants and at the same time ensures an adequate rooting zone for the plants. A thin layer of extensive substrate is placed on top of it, with the role of ensuring nutrition and a suitable growth environment for the vegetation.
The substrate has an ultra-light structure, composed of high-porosity volcanic rock, contains trace minerals, it has a spongy texture, provides an airy, light-weight growing medium and has an increased water retention capacity.
The vegetation mats used are made up of 5-6 ultra-drought-resistant Sedum species. The plants are carefully chosen, the carpet being composed of the species that have proven to be the most resistant following studies and analyzes carried out over many years in arid areas.
Advantages
- The modular design allows for quick and efficient installation without the need for specialized welding equipment, thus reducing installation time and costs.
- Ultra-lightweight construction designed for easy transport and quick installation.
- Represents an effective solution for areas with limited water resources, the innovative design offers a high water retention capacity (17-35 l/m2), at the same time the structure has a significantly reduced thickness and weight.
Properties
- It is integrated with an efficient drainage system, one of the pillars of the station works as a drainage channel, it helps to manage excess water, preventing water from accumulating on the green roof and damaging the structure.
- The species and varieties of Sedum used are adapted to survive in extreme conditions, guaranteeing a healthy vegetation during the hot summer, without precipitation for up to 3 months.
- Special substrates are designed to maximize water retention and promote healthy plant growth.
