Tree Root Protection - TRP | CORE TREE ROOT PROTECTOR

What is the CORE TRP system?

The CORE Tree Root Protection (TRP) System is a CE certified cellular confinement system that provides guaranteed protection for the roots of mature trees from pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

It distributes the weight of the traffic which in turn prevents subsoil compaction around the roots.

With the correct fill material it is completely porous allowing continued water permeation and gaseous exchange to ensure the protected tree stays healthy.

The system forms a high load bearing, shallow permeable sub-base above ground.

Why is Tree Root Protection Needed?

Due to the rate of urbanisation within the UK it is becoming increasingly common to find trees located in areas of development with Tree Preservation Orders (TPO’s). TPO’s ensure the protection of mature trees, especially when construction work is being carried out nearby.

Our CORE Tree Root Protection (TRP) cellular confinement system offers a compliant solution to creating a driveway, car park, road or track for temporary site access.

The system creates a three dimensional erosion barrier and structural bridge that uniformly distributes weight-bearing loads preventing unwanted ground compaction in and around the feeder roots of the tree.

What are the consequences of not using a Tree Root Protection System?

Failure to install Tree Root Protection below a trafficked surface will result in the surface becoming compacted and rutted. Minimal oxygen and nutrient exchange to the roots could ultimately destroy the tree.

Failing to comply with a TPO is treated as a serious offence, and can result in a £20,000 fine – and with 90% of tree roots are found within 1m of the surface and extend to a distance equal to approximately 65% of the tree’s overall height, it makes it impossible to build a sustainable surface using traditional methods for vehicular traffic, without digging and damaging the feeder roots of the tree. That’s where CORE TRP comes in.
