Stormwater Management Roof – Intensive Version

With the right system build-up Intensive Green Roofs are able to detain a high amount of stormwater. It can be released with a delayed peak at a later point of time to relieve the sewer system.

Intensive Green Roofs are often elaborately designed roof landscapes, such as accessible roof gardens. They are suitable for lawns, perennial plants and with a deeper layer of growing medium, for shrubs and trees. Amenities such as terraces, playing areas, pools or ponds etc. are also possible. There are virtually no design limits, provided the structure of the building caters for them.
