Church of the Latter Day Saints, Philadelphia PA

Home/Light weight Green roof media

Light weight Green roof media

March 1, 2022 by

The Church of the Latter Day Saints Project in Center City Philadelphia, more than any other, exemplifies what we do best and what sets us apart from the competition. We were required to deliver a large volume of soil during a very tight time frame and within an even tighter and congested construction delivery zone.

Within the CLDS campus, several greenspaces were created including lawns, ornamental shrubs beds, flower gardens and mature tree plantings. All these were installed on top of the ground level roof of the subterranean parking garage and the first floor roof of the Welcoming Center. A combination of soils were designed and installed in a layered system in specific depths. Some of the soil was delivered in bulk and installed using an 80ft conveyor and some of the soil was delivered in super sacks and installed with a crane.

Cira Green, Philadelphia’s first elevated park, is a 1.25 acre oasis located on an 11th story parking garage overlooking the Schuylkill River. It is also Philadelphia’s first blue-green roof which contains a “hidden” stormwater management system to irrigate the native plants, trees, perennials and grasses planted throughout. Due to logistical constraints during construction, the over 2000 yards of rooflite® Certified Green Roof Media was delivered “just in time” to the site and transported to the 11th story via a blower truck.
