Process
First-fix – Steel frame installation
An auxiliary subframe was installed to support the weight and fixing points of the living wall system.
Once the steel frame was installed, the living wall modules were brought onsite for installation.
Second Fix – modules installation
These living wall modules were pre-grown offsite to maturation, at a nursery over 6-12 weeks.
This time allows the plants to acclimatise, develop a strong root system and produce foliage that ensures that we get instant coverage from the day the installation is completed.
