Trinity Square in Stockton-on-Tees has had a market at North Ormesby since 1874. But development over the years gradually led to the elimination of trees and other green space, making this historic marketplace a somewhat stark and unfriendly place.
As Installation Coordinator, a big part of my job at DeepRoot is working with contractors to help make sure that they are comfortable installing the Silva Cell and to act as a technical resource when needed. Many contractors have questions about productivity during Silva Cell installations, which is what I want to talk about today.
This picture is of the Venice Island Recreation Center, in the Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA. The island sits between the Manayunk Canal and the Schuylkill River and between the Lock and Cotton Street. And in about three months, Silva Cells will be installed here. It will be the first usage of this product by… More
We love this sign from Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, Treevitalize, and Highmark outside our installation at Fifth Avenue Place (Highmark). The Silva Cells went in the ground in November 2011.
We’ll be hosting our next webinar, timed for our UK/Europe audience, on how to lay out the Silva Cell using AutoCAD next Wednesday, April 25th at 3pm GMT. Anyone is welcome to register, but for those of you in North America, it will mean an early start time.
Three magazines recently included articles about projects that incorporated Silva Cells in their green infrastructure plans.
Silva Cells were recently installed at the University of South Carolina as part of a larger multi-use tailgate facility. The site, which is across the street from the school’s stadium, formerly housed the South Carolina State Farmers Market.
Back in July, we learned that San Francisco property owners were likely to assume 100% responsibility for street trees (at that time, this was already the case for about 80 percent, of 89,000, trees). Now the transition is officially beginning. What I didn’t realize was that, right around the same time, San Francisco Supervisor Scott… More
We hosted our first live AutoCAD layout webinar last week! For anyone who missed it, we did manage not to mess up the recording (too badly), and it’s now available online.
We don’t talk about engineering as it relates to the Silva Cell much here, mostly because I’m still mastering basic math and have little to bring to the conversation. But that aside, the Silva Cell is a highly engineered product, and since it’s used in urban environments, engineering is an important consideration on all of… More
Back in August 2010, Silva Cells were installed to create a bioretention planter at the Casey Trees headquarters. Now, the good folks at that same organization have added an information panel to explain how the system works.
Big news! We’re hosting our first webinar on how to lay out the Silva Cell using AutoCAD next Friday, February 17th at 11am CST.
