Volume = length × width × depth — confirm units before ordering.
Green Roof Biodiversity Plan BenchmarksTable
Key parameters and target values for quality assurance.
| Parameter | Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Moisture | Within spec | Test before cover |
| Compaction | Uniform layers | ≤150 mm lifts |
| Safety | PPE worn | Stop if unsure |
Load First
Calculate saturated soil and plant load before ordering media — overweight roofs fail structurally.
Membrane Integrity
Protect waterproof membrane from punctures during every layer install.
Fall Protection
Use harness and guardrails whenever working within 6 feet of roof edge.
Safety Notes
- Do not introduce invasive plants to wildland interfaces.
- Pesticides harm pollinators — use IPM.
