H. SOLUTIONS FOR PITCHED GREEN ROOF APPLICATIONS (> 21/2:12) hanks to the advance of green roof technologies, highpitched roofs, which are very common in Europe, are getting more and more vegetated today. Most of living pitched roofs have the advantage of being better seen than flat roofs. This section details technical solutions to vegetate green roofs whose pitch is greater than 21/2:12 (20%) and less than 12:12 (100%). Above 12:12 (100%), VEGETAL I.D. has various solutions, in such cases, a dedicated project study will have to be done. EGETAL I.D. solutions offer a fully secure fastening system...

hanks to its ‘‘All-In-One’’ design and easy to install system, HYDROPACK® is well adapted for use on pitched roof applications. Often pitched roofs are difficult to access, and laying growing media as a separate layer can be challenging. The modules are pre-grown at our nursery and sent fully vegetated. Installing HYDROPACK® over a pitched roof limit erosion risks. HYDROPACK® module allows application on very steep roofs, above 100% pitch.

ACROPACK® L Retaining angle for HYDROPACK® on pitched roofs CROPACK® L retaining system’s aim is to prevent HYDROPACK® from sliding on pitch higher than 20%. The component has been designed so it imbricates perfectly underneath the module: the water pathways between trays still function. The fastening angles and squares are made of stainless steel. They are fixed to the carrying element. ACROPACK® L allows a safe-and-invisible HYDROPACK® installation for up to 100% pitches. he ACROPACK® L retaining system is composed of three elements : The angle bar laid out, perpendicularly to the pitch, under...

Retaining brackets for HYDROPACK® on pitched green roofs CROPACK® Ω retaining system is made of smooth aluminum rail to prevent HYDROPACK® from sliding. This retaining system is used for slopes greater than 20%. The rails imbricate perfectly under the HYDROPACK® tray to preserve the water pathway between the trays. This retaining system is invisible. ACROPACK® Ω has been designed to secure an optimal support. Depending on the project, ACROPACK® Ω is either attached on the waterproofing membrane or supported by stainless steel cables (Ø 0.2”) attached to the ridge of the roof to transfer the load...

Depending on the installation schedule, delivery can be planned in two steps. In order to fasten ACROPACK® Ω to the carrying element, it might be necessary to introduce additional equipment underneath the sealing layer, to compensate the forces (accessories ® integrated to the insulation layer).
