NEW ELEVATOR can be used to ensure the preservation of tree growth and health along roadways and in other urban settings by providing space for roots to grow unhindered. Usually, the rooting space is hindered by cables, sewage pipes or materials used in road construction. The result is the typical upheaval often observed on roadways, sidewalks or boulevards. The vertical columns created by the use of the new elevator system enables the construction of slab or roadway, which is constructed above the structurally sound column grid. The resulting space ensures tree roots can grow as naturally intended.
