Why Living Walls

Structure - Living Retaining Walls provide the underlying structure needed to permanently stabilize extreme grade changes. Design Flexibility -

Plant based livingsystems have been shown to benefitbuildings, owners, occupants, andthe environment.

Environmental Benefits - Living walls minimize stormwater runoff, cool the environment, and provide habitat fornative creatures.

“Vertical Parking Lots” Should Be a Thing of the Past

Creating Structural Facing Systems That Support Healthy Plants

isWhat We Do

How was the Trinity™ LivingWallSystem Developed?

1. Proven erosion control and plant growth of Filtrexx International’s compost filled Soxx

2. Installed into the security of a galvanized wire facing system

3. With system components matched, engineered, delivered and maintained to full grow-in by The Living Wall Company, LLC

Trinity Evolutionary Firsts

• Integration of proven wire form, polymer strap reinforcement and precise, modular placement of excellent growth media at the facing in one elegant operation

• Galvanized welded wire face elements in several sizes

• Simple “mechanical” connection to reinforcement straps

• First and only system to utilize Filtrexx Soxx as erosion control and growth media at the facing

• Extremely high coverage to weight ratio for reduction in trucking, fuel and install labor

• Largest “verifiable” and “quantifiable” growth media volume of any plantablewall system

• Soxx filled with locally produced “certified” compost

• Uniform face angle at 70 degrees with facing interlock for precise alignment

• Designed for maximum contribution to LEED points

• Easily establish native perennials from seed included inside the Filtrexx Soxx

• Designed for drip tubing inclusion• Available worldwide as a locally

manufactured green building product

Uniform Continuous Face at 70 degrees, Great Batter Control and Radius Capability

Same nice radius wall from the last slide but one year later after both cover crop and native permanent crop has grown in – all from seed

Great Integration with Backfill and Finish Grading Made Easy

Traditional Welded Wire Walls Value Proposition – walls and slopes, design flexibility, availability, easily shipped, possible greenspace, lower price where aesthetics are not a driver

Traditional wire wall suppliers leave living wall components such as soil and plants up to “others” – the detail below looks great but actually creating it in the field takes integrated components and a business model based on healthy plant covered structures.

Traditional wire walls do not have verifiable quality and quantity of growth media at the face –nobody really knows what is installed or how much?

Trinity Advantage“State of The Art” Face Elements• Largest infill capacity per sf area• Mechanical connection to strap• Moisture, nutrient and root movement

through the entire facing system• Precision support struts for shape retention• Face fill is secure and open to backfill • Galvanized for durabilityAll Inclusive Material Package• Wall design and well integrated components

on every project• Site specific plant and seed selection• Planting and maintenance to maturityEmphasis on Grow-out• Proper plant selection assistance• Easily ad drip irrigation to the walls• We only sell vegetated systems• Our brand is fully grown-in walls and slopes.

We stay involved till they are.

Retaining walls are evolving and the next generation is - Living!

This presentation has been focused on our more MSE / Commercial LivingWall Systems. One of the latest additions to our product line in the very innovative Polymer LivingWall System we call EnviroBloxx. Extensive information is available on our website and can also be emailed directly upon request. Future webinars will be scheduled to focus solely on this groundbreaking system in the near future.

Brochures that cover our entire product line really pull together all of our wall solutions and price points. No other company offers the continuum of products and price points, backed up by a business model build to support fully grown-in walls and slopes. Our commitment to healthy plants is at the core of all we do.
