Toronto’s Distillery District Streetscape Revitalization
The recent renovation project that took place in this district required a group of visionaries which included general contractors, landscape architects, urban planners, designers, and contractors or all degrees who had great plans for this space to create an attractive downtown environment.
The StrataCell system offered the benefits required to sustain the trees, while its load-bearing capability provided the strength required for motor vehicle and pedestrian activity on the surface. Throughout the project planning, there were also concerns among clients to meet H20 Loading and AASHTO standards, which further addressed why the strength provided by the StrataCell system made this a beneficial choice for being used.
“Another benefit of using the StrataCell came into play when we had to deal with the paving and deep underground garage parking,” said David Mugford, BLA, ASLA, of The Planning Partnership. “Dealing with this limited profile gave us a fine-grain approach to layer the StrataCells to allow us to get the maximum soil volume possible, especially since these trees can go into constrained conditions pretty easily.” “The knowledge that GreenBlue Infrastructure Solutions offered gave us the ammunition behind the decisions we made,” added Mr. Mugford. “It’s a well-researched company that has done their homework – which makes it easier to work with their product.” |
