  1. Arden House Garages Green Roof ProjectJanuary 2011

  2. This section of garages is structurally unsound and not suitable for installation of a green roof garage doors Surface area for green roof installation 74 m2 garage doors Fig 1 - 3D scale drawing of garages

  3. Location plan N Arden House garages

  4. Structural engineers report

  5. Photographs from Arden House View from flat 33 - 30th January 2011

  6. The garages are situated 15 metres north of Arden House. The sun is obscured for approximately 6 months of the year between October and March. From March to October the garages receive full sun.

  8. Proposed layers of material to lay on roof 133mm average soil / substrate (discussed on slide 8) geotextile – 5mm Hertalan EPDM waterproof membrane geotextile – 3mm garage roof Cross section

  9. Potential source of local soil Large mound of gravelly soil (just 200 yards up the road) There is a Costa coffee processing plant in the area which produces a large quantity of Coffee chaff.

  10. Proposed plan of action on substrate planning • Soil test to gauge proportion on clay / loam / silt and ph of available soil substrate • Test soil sifter • Work out how many bricks required for drainage layer and to go inside wire mesh around the edge • Need to consider how many different grades of soil are required • How much coffee chaff is useful? • Need to consider how to bag and transport material

  11. Project plan

  12. Original budget

  13. Additional items / key questions • Publicity material – posters, signage etc • Ann • Transport of aggregate material from the end of Newport Street? • Root barrier layer required? (see Green roof scrap book) • Speak to dusty • Green roof on bin store? • Yes • How to get materials onto the roof – Material Lift? • Yes • Do we need a safety barrier around the edge of the roof? • No • Do we grow wheat?! • yes
