What is the CORE TRP system?

CORE Tree Root Protection (TRP) is a fully guaranteed, CE certified, no-dig cellular confinement system, specifically designed and engineered for ultimate tree root protection for all trees from pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Often referred to as CELLWEB or PROTECTA WEB in the same way that bituminous macadam is called tarmac, CORE TRPs unique cell size, cell depth and wall perforations combine to create a tried and tested method to laterally distribute the weight of traffic which in turn prevents subsoil compaction.

With expert design, CORE TRP forms a high load bearing, shallow permeable sub-base above ground which will remain completely porous. Filtering out dangerous hydrocarbons at four times the rate of alternative TRP systems, laterally distributing the weight imposed by all traffic types, allowing gaseous exchange and continued permeation of water, oxygen, and nutrients to ensure protected tree roots stay healthy.

The technical properties of our TRP panels are independently tested and CE certified to ensure all industry standards are exceeded.

Fully Compliant ‘No Dig’ Subbase

By using CORE Tree Root Protection and adopting a no dig, above ground sub-base method within an RPA (Root Protection Area) you can be confident you are fully compliant with BS5837:2012 and the latest revision to APN12 (Arboricultural Practise Note 12) Through the trees to development published 2007, AGN12 the Arboricultural Associations Guidance Note 12 – The use of cellular confinement systems near trees, published September 2020.

Manni Keates from the team here at CORE worked closely with the Author Ben Rose and the Arboricultural Association to create the latest guidance notes in producing the majority of diagrams used throughout the document and providing technical recommendations.

We can supply all the materials required for a fully AGN12 compliant build up

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 pathway, driveway, car park, road, or track for permanent use or 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.
