The Department of Environment will reinstall this week the big pots adorning the square
All trees Romea Square alcorque already have an ecological, economic, permeable, safe and durable.
If last December the Parks and Gardens Department of the Environment began to install it on the score of casuarinas now finished installing performance in the 50 existing mulberry.
Also retrieve the square pots adorning the area.
The Department of Parks and Gardens will proceed this week to install them again after they have been renovated and painted.
In these fifteen planters will be planted ficus and flowering plants, particularly gipsies.
This new tree surround, 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 dual construction technique and detail, since the aggregate "recycled" employees come from the municipal treatment plant inert.
Aggregates enable, through its bonded with epoxy resins, perspiration and permeability desired, by being small gaps between them.
This addition is enhanced drainage cylinders and transpiration diameter 18/20 m / m located in frame to a distance of 15 centimeters between each.
The upper face is given a slight slope into the tree surround to take advantage of rainwater and also leaves an empty space around the trunk draining the tree, not "drown" the tree and thus enable their breathing .
2) The alcorques ecologicos.es, are also resistant to both normal maintenance vehicle traffic as a pedestrian circulations, both the substrate layer of loose recycled aggregates 8/10 inches, for the top layer also recycled aggregates our treatment plant Municipal inert, 8/10 inches thick, bonded with epoxy resin.
This covering is resolved with this two problems existing with other techniques:
1) They must be sufficiently permeable and breathable, allowing the breath of the tree from 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 alcorques respect to traditional alcorques concrete or metal are as follows
* Use of organic material from the municipal plant for recycling inert waste.
* Low cost of implementation and low maintenance costs.
* Passage of water permeability, which allows the irrigation of the trees.
* Color "wood" as an integral feature of the tree (brown trunk) and in turn differentiated from the pavement perimeter, which brings its own uniqueness.
* Continuity elevation / grade perimeter compared to the surrounding pavement, avoiding steps and discontinuity perimeter.
* Provides a "demonstration" effect of urban ecology, as the basic material used comes from recycling and get a result as color, texture and unique, innovative process and pleasant color appearance, incorporating the design criteria of sustainability and is therefore environmentally friendly.
