URBAN GREEN SPACES WITH PLATIPUS

With urban areas continuing to grow around the world, the need to create amazing green spaces is at an all-time high.

Tree anchoring

Since pioneering the very first underground tree anchoring system in 1983, Platipus has continued to innovate and develop high quality tree anchoring solutions for every planting situation.

With the ever-increasing desire to create beautiful landscapes in challenging urban environments, there are many occasions where a standard tree anchoring system cannot be used, due to the location of buried services or shallow planting areas.

The award-winning D-MAN® is a strong, compact and lightweight solution primarily designed to replace traditional heavy kerbstones. It comes as a complete system and significantly reduces transportation charges, material costs and installation time. D-MAN can be used individually or in multiples; cells simply lock/unlock together. It has a distinctive letterbox-style wire tendon anchor point and a unique cup for valuable water storage. D-MAN is made from recyclable plastic and, when combined with Plati-Mat® and Platipus’s engineered ratchet tensioner, provides excellent stability and protection to the tree.

G-WALL® Modular Living Wall System

The Platipus G-WALL® System incorporates the already highly successful and patented D-MAN cell. The modular nature of the G-WALL allows for incredibly simple vertical and horizontal expansion through the use of interlocking, omnidirectional cells. These cells use “jigsaw” integration and are easily connected using lightweight hand tools. This makes the G-WALL System extremely versatile, so that anyone can start using it straight from the box. It is quick and easy to assemble and requires no batons, rails, hanging grids or membranes. Each cell provides four pockets for planting and accepts standard 13/14 mm irrigation pipe. The fascia also includes pocket “drip through” irrigation slots to ensure water is supplied to all plants.
