There’s been a lot of posts lately about DeepRoot events. Sorry the normal balance of blog content is off, but it’s tradeshow season apparently. What can we say? DeepRoot will be exhibiting at the Prairie ISA show October 15 – 17 in Canmore, AB. We are in Booth 15. And in addition to exhibiting at… More
In 2011, CMG Landscape Architecture was approached by a tech company to design the courtyard of their new headquarters in Menlo Park, CA. The project was on a very fast track. In addition to the accelerated timeline, CMG’s proposed design for the site had the total impervious surface area increasing from 40 percent to 60… More
There’s a great article in WaterWorld this month about Onandaga County’s comprehensive stormwater management movement, Save the Rain. The past 100 years have taken a toll on Onondaga Lake, which has given its shores and water to support industrial commerce, a regional transportation hub and urban wastewater utilities in the City of Syracuse. The factories that… More
At DeepRoot we like to keep it fresh and fun for everyone. And what is more fresh and fun than innovating our products to be more field efficient and environmentally friendly as well as meeting market demands? (OK, so I work in Operations – sue me). To that end, we’ve got some pretty awesome product… More
Awhile back (actually WAY back in 2010) we discussed the how to store and how not to store Silva Cells. I thought it might be time for a little refresher on the best practices and why it is important to follow them.
After a very (very) long time in production, we finally have a new video that explains – in just two minutes – what exactly the Silva Cell is, and how it can help you grow mature trees and manage stormwater at source.
Here is this year’s photos from the Bartlett Tree Lab study comparing different planting methods for urban trees. For comparison, check out last year’s set. And for a fuller chronological picture, you can see each year’s photos, from 2004 onward, here.
Our recent Silva Cell installation at Rodney Square in Wilmington, DE is an excellent example of how Cells can be installed on a site without access from the sides.
We’ve just updated our Silva Cell standard details! Here’s what’s new:
Exciting news! As of July 9th, 2012, the Silva Cell has received approval from Montgomery County, Maryland, as a stormwater best management practice (BMP). This is beyond the acceptance on a project by project basis that we had previously. It means that anybody who wants to implement a stormwater BMP is their designs in Mongtomery… More
We previously took a look at how to do an emergency utility repair where a Silva Cell system is installed. Today we’ll look at how to do a planned repair. Broadway Avenue, in Winnipeg, which went in the ground in July 2007, was one of our first Silva Cell installations. Several years later, they had a planned… More
Today we’ll look at how to do an emergency repair of a Silva Cell system. This simulated repair was done at a demonstration site in Toronto and was a joint test site between Toronto Water and the City. First, a water pipe was installed. A hole was cut in to the pipe. Once the water was… More
