Silva Cell - Modular Suspended Pavement System
Verified by manufacturer 7 days ago
Patented, modular, suspended pavement system that integrates water, soil and tree roots and delivers on-site stormwater management through bioretention.
Application
The Silva Cell can be used in a wide variety of applications. Some of the most common are:
- Streetscapes.
- Plazas.
- Courtyards.
- Parking lots.
- Parks.
- Green roofs/ on-structure.
- “Break out” zones.
Each of these applications can be designed for tree growth and stormwater management.
Description
Silva Cells are a modular suspended-pavement system that holds vast quantities of lightly compacted soil while supporting traffic loads beneath paving. That soil serves two important functions: growing large trees and treating stormwater on-site.
The Silva Cells suspend the pavement, creating a void beneath the surface to allow for bioretention, slowing and treating stormwater on-location without utilizing buildable urban real estate.
Features and benefits:
- Low-impact development (LID) solution for green, at-source stormwater control.
- Use the natural environment for absorption, evapotranspiration, and interception.
- Helps to mitigate the effects of climate change while increasing shade and beauty.
- Tree health and stormwater management.
- Structural independence: no lateral connections.
- Flexibility: utility accommodation.
- Modularity: easy scalability.
- Meets vehicular loading: minimal cover required.
- Large openings: simple soil deposits and walk-through compaction.
