[Philip van Wassenaer]

Crispin,

 

Depending on the intensity of use, this is an excellent product for bridging
over existing roots.

Subject: [CANUFNET] Floating sidewalks or slabs over tree roots

 

Hello Network,

 

I was wondering if any one might have a standard detail they would be
willing to share for either a reinforced floating concrete sidewalk or
floating concrete slab (e.g. driveway pad) for use in situations of
construction or reconstruction where near surface tree roots exists and
limited excavation is preferred. 

 

Any help is appreciated
