Bioretention Soil
The Bioretention Soil has been developed around the CIRIA SuDS manual guidelines for filter media in a SuDS application. The Green-tree Bioretention soil provides an efficient permeability rate to avoid waterlogging on the surface area but holds sufficient nutrient levels and organic matter to support the vegetation used.
Description
The Bioretention soil offers a solution to sustainable urban drainage systems which are designed to move water in a manner that controls the release into the main sewer system or into attenuation or harvesting systems for re-distribution into irrigation and smart drainage systems.
