Geocells can be used in green roof systems by providing a stable and durable platform for vegetation growth. They are typically laid as a grid system on top of the roof, filled with soil, and planted with various types of vegetation. The geocells help to retain the soil, prevent erosion, and distribute the weight of the plants evenly across the roof. Additionally, they promote water drainage and can enhance the overall sustainability and environmental benefits of green roof systems.
Geocells can be used in green roof systems by providing structural support and stabilization to the growing medium and vegetation. The cells can be filled with soil or other lightweight materials and arranged on the roof surface to create a network of compartments. This helps to distribute the weight evenly and prevent erosion or displacement of the growing medium. Additionally, geocells can aid in stormwater management by retaining water within the cells, promoting plant growth and reducing runoff. Overall, geocells enhance the durability, sustainability, and functionality of green roof systems.
