Tree Root Protection is supplied flat packed and opens to form a strong geocellular structure. It is simply pinned in place using metal fixing pins as described. In this type of Reduced-Dig or No-Dig Tree Route Protection application, Terram Geocell is intended for use in conjunction with a water and gas permeable SuDS (Sustainable Drainage System) compliant pavement surface product such as BodPave85 cellular plastic paving, Concrete Porous Block Paving or Porous Asphalt surfaces. Although Terram Geocell can be used by traffic in isolation for a very limited period when filled; it is not advised that Terram Geocell is used as the permanent surface finish for vehicle access routes. Exceptions may arise where Terram Geocell is installed as a temporary haul road for example as a site access route and may be removed and disposed of or fully re-surfaced after use. Refer to installation method details for further information.

INSTALLATION METHOD FOR TEMPORARY ROADS AND SACRIFICIAL PAVEMENT LAYERS IN HAUL ROADS
In some applications Terram Geocell may be installed as a temporary haul road base and completely removed after use. Alternatively it may have a sacrificial stone layer placed over it which is removed and replaced with a permanent permeable pavement solution when use of the haul road is complete. 1. Obtain the approval of the Local Planning Department and Arboriculture Officer that this method of construction is appropriate and acceptable for the temporary access and to determine the limits of construction and proximity to the tree. 2. Apply all construction detail as for items 2 to 9 above for Permanent Access Routes. 3. Place a layer of BGT100 Geotextile or greater strength Geotextile (i.e Terram 2000) onto the Terram Geocell surface. The geotextile grade will be determined by the specific site design criteria and degree of haul road traffic proposed. This layer will be removed and replaced later if a porous pavement surface is being installed on the Terram Geocell. 4. Place a minimum 100mm thick layer of either clean graded stone or DoT Type 1 sub-base stone onto the surface. This will be the sacrificial pavement layer to be removed later. Aggregate specification will be determined by the project manager. 5. During use of the access route, routinely check for erosion of the surface and repair with stone as required to avoid exposure of the geotextile. 6. After the haul road use is completed, remove the sacrificial layer of stone and geotextile and replace with the preferred permeable pavement layer in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. Alternatively remove the entire construction profile to return the site to its original status. is critically important to avoid contamination of the remaining layer of open-graded stone within the Terram Geocell where partial removal is carried out and at all times to avoid damage to tree roots and soil compaction during removal and disposal of the construction layers. 7. Where complete removal of Terram Geocell is required, seek the specifiers advice on renovation and restoration of the landscaped surfaces within the tree protection zone.
