Diaz Group recently completed a 5000-square-foot Extensive Green roof project in Chicago, IL, which posed unique logistical challenges. They needed the assistance of a crane to bring in the required materials, including 15 tons of decorative river rock, 22 tons of green roof media, and ten pallets of sedum rolls. Since Oly Ola's Teco Edg™ is lightweight and comes in 10-foot lengths, it was accessible to bring up in the elevator and proved cost-effective over having a crane for an extra day. "The decision to use the 4" tall version of Teco Edg was rooted in its exceptional qualities. Not only does it meet the USGBC Leed rating, but it also outperforms traditional aluminum edging in several ways. Its lightweight nature made it easy to transport. Furthermore, Teco Edg is exceptionally durable, ensuring a long-lasting solution for our green roof installation needs. Its 100% recyclable PVC material aligns with our commitment to sustainability, and its versatility allows for drilling or bolting, facilitating a clean and well-defined edge for our projects," expressed Francisco Leon, Construction Supervisor at Diaz Group.
