Urban soils and substrates for blue-green infrastructure
Service offer
Our services provide a comprehensive analysis of soil and substrate properties. For blue-green infrastructure measures to work optimally, it is essential that substrates meet certain parameters.
Our services include: Determination of physical properties of substrates and soils
Measurement of the grain composition: We determine grain size curves and fractions of soils and substrates.
Measurement of retention curves: We are investigating the ability of substrates to retain water at different soil moisture levels.
Measurement of substrate properties for green roofs: The FLL method is used to determine the maximum water capacity and bulk density of roof substrates.
Hydraulic conductivity measurement: We analyse the ability of substrates and soils to conduct water.
Innovative substrates for sustainable construction
Substrate recommendation for a specific construction project: We provide detailed interpretation of the results, modelling and recommendations for substrate optimization for local conditions.
Assessment of the usability of local soils for MZI: We will analyse the local soils and suggest ways to improve it for use in the construction of blue-green infrastructure.
Development of circular substrates: We develop substrates with recycled materials to reduce the environmental impact of construction.
Benefits for you:
A comprehensive approach: We provide solutions from analysis to implementation.
An approach based on the current state of knowledge: We use the latest research findings and put them into practice.
