Already been placed in the trees of the Plaza de San Bartolomé
The Department of Parks and Gardens, under the Department of Environment and Urban Quality has created a alcorque ecological, economic, permeable, safe and durable.
This new tree pit, called ecologico.es and is already installed in the trees of the Plaza de San Bartolomé, (the next sites will be placed on Post Street and Avenue Alfonso X el Sabio) plays a dual role:
1) The alcorques ecologicos.es are permeable and breathable, with a double construction technique and detail, since the aggregate "recycled" employees from the municipal treatment plant inert.
Aggregates can, by epoxy bonded, perspiration and permeability desired for them to finish in small gaps.
This also is enhanced with a cylinder diameter drainage and transpiration 18/20 m / m, located in box at a distance of 15 centimeters between each of them.
At the top is given a slight slope into the tree pit to take advantage of rainwater and also leaves an empty space drainage around the tree trunk so as not to "choke" the tree and hence enable their breath .
2) The ecologicos.es Basins are also resistant to both normal traffic and maintenance vehicles to pedestrian circulation, both the substrate layer of recycled aggregates loose 8 / 10 inches, for the top layer also recycled aggregate Municipal our treatment plant inert, 8 / 10 inches thick, bonded with epoxy resin.
In this way this mating is solved two problems existing with other techniques:
1) They must be sufficiently permeable and breathable, allowing breathing tree inside to outside and irrigation at the top by hand watering or rain to the bottom of the tree pit to the roots of the tree.
2) It must be sufficiently strong and durable, allowing the passage and processing on the machines for maintenance and cleaning of public roads and allow the transit of citizens.
The main advantages of this type Basins Basins respect to traditional concrete or metal are as follows
* Use of organic material from the plant Municipal recycling of inert waste.
* Low cost of implementation and low maintenance costs.
* Passage of water permeability, allowing water the trees.
* Color "wood" as an integral feature of the tree (brown trunk) and in turn differentiated from the floor perimeter, which brings its own uniqueness.
* Continuity Dimension / flush on the pavement perimeter that surrounds it, avoiding stairs and discontinuity perimeter.
* Provides a "demonstration" effect of urban ecology, since the basic material used comes from recycling and get a result of both chromatic and textural singled, innovative process and nice color appearance, incorporating the design criteria of sustainability and therefore environmentally friendly.
