Rootbox is a modular system made from recycled plastic, designed to ensure the healthy and long-term growth of trees in highly urbanized environments with significant infrastructure constraints.
Installed underground, Rootbox creates a cellular matrix filled with uncompacted soil, providing roots with proper aeration, effective irrigation, and sufficient space for development, while preventing pavement uplift and damage to surrounding urban infrastructure.
The system integrates seamlessly with the built environment, combining high structural and hydraulic performance with excellent water storage capacity, contributing to the city’s hydrological balance. Thanks to its modular design, Rootbox represents an efficient technical solution for urban greenery management, enhancing tree resilience and improving the overall sustainability of public spaces.
To assemble Rootbox modules, connect the universal wall panels by sliding their side connectors into place and locking them together. Once the first level of the structure is assembled, set up irrigation, aeration, or other infrastructure systems according to project specifications.
If required, install the upper Rootbox rows by pressing the modules together. The upper edge of the wall panels has special ridges to ensure a secure fit and block any lateral movement.
After planting the trees and filling the structure with soil, secure the top grid onto the upper Rootbox modules by applying hand pressure. Once the grid is in place, the Rootbox can be covered with paving material as specified in the project requirements.
Yes, Rootbox has side openings that accommodate infrastructure pipes up to 25 cm in diameter, allowing seamless integration with MEP systems as needed.
Quick installation: The Rootbox system uses only 2 recycled plastic components and requires no tools or accessories, enabling fast, easy, and intuitive setup.
High load-bearing capacity: Rootbox can support various types of surface coverings while maintaining structural integrity, unlike traditional systems that may compact over time.
Improved tree growth: Rootbox supports tree growth in uncompacted soil, allowing roots to spread and establish without causing surface damage.
