Although the main contactor - O’Mac Construction completed the waterproofing the green roof itself was a task that we chose to take on ourselves! Over two intense weeks in March and June four layer of roofing build up from AGB Geosynthetics were layered on top of the root resistant liquid waterproofing and secured to the roof.
Over 15 tonnes of soil was then carefully placed on the roof by hand, working from the bottom up to ensure that the roof structure was loaded correctly and not over stressed. The soil was then seeded with a mix of local grasses and wildflowers.
Then five weeks later we have a surprisingly green roof…still a few sparse patches but in a couple of months time we should have a completely green roof….
