As the rainy season begins across Canada, it’s essential we highlight how roofs are useful stormwater management tools to reduce cistern tanks and relieve pressures off our public systems. In collaboration with WA Architects Ltd., PMG Landscape Architects Ltd. and Core Concept we were tasked with meeting the stormwater management requirements for the new North Renfrew Condominium in Vancouver. The goal was to retain approximately 56 cubic metres and detain around 40 cubic metres of water on the roof, effectively managing 24 mm of rain over a 24-hour period. To achieve this, we implemented our RSX stormwater retention spacers throughout the rooftop planters, creating temporary stormwater detention tanks beneath the soil and vegetation. To maximize stormwater capture, a comprehensive system of internal plumbing and external PVC piping was installed to channel water from the traditional impervious roofs directly into the planters. This not only increases water access for the plants but also collects additional rainwater in the detention tanks below, optimizing both plant health and stormwater management. 🌧️🌱 We can’t wait to see this roof complete and in action! Thanks Houston Landscapes for the great work💪 #greenroof #stormwatermanagement #blueroof #waterretention #waterdetention #stormwatercapture #construction #sustainablearchitecture #vancouverbc #toronto #ZinCo
