| The EVERGREEN
wall is composed of prefabricated element stacked on top each
other. The crip wall container thus formed is filled with
earth and planted. Combinations of elements of different dimensions
permit foundation of resets and niches in the wall. The shape
of the front profile optimizes growth opportunity for the
plants which assures complete integration of the structure
into its environment. Planted EVERGREEN walls are attractive
green slopes in summer, with vegetation hiding the concrete
and reducing noice levels. The resets and niches give accumulated
winter snows interesting three dimensional structures. With
EVERGREEN, the problem of graffiti is virtually eliminated
and use of evergreen plants will keep the wall green year
round.
Installation
EVERGREEN - simple to install.
One machine can do all the work; excavation, erection, fill
and backfill. The speed of execution permits opening steep
cuts temporarily. A hydraulic excavator can place elements
(representing 40 square feet of wall surface) quickly and
efficiently.
Characteristics of
Completed Wall

like elements and earth fill.
Acoustical Qualities: The EVERGREEN wall
has many pockets, resets, recesses and plantings to absorb
noise and reduce noice reflections.
Long Term Stability & Safety: The quality
of prefabricated concrete elements withstand weathering conditions
and assures safety of the structure for long term use.
Variety of Applications: Retaining walls,
rock revetments, slope stabilizers and noise abating walls.
This unique planted wall makes it especially suitable for
areas subject to graffiti. Ideal for parks, gardens, residential
and commercial districts, and along highways and railroads.
General Specifications
Materials:Elements are made of reinforced concrete
according to state specifications.
Fabrication & Erection: The concrete elements
are prefabricated in a factory under controlled conditions.
The erection of the walls consists of simple stacking of elements
beside and on top of one another. |
