Plant bed kit
Plant bed kit A complete solution for sustainable stormwater management and green urban development
To meet future demands for stormwater management while creating greener, more vibrant urban environments, Pekuma has developed the Plant Bed Kit – a package of carefully designed components that together provide efficient water distribution, infiltration and natural purification.
Plant bed kits are part of our innovative Skyfall Stockholm concept and are specifically designed to create green solutions in urban environments where hard surfaces can otherwise lead to flooding and poorer groundwater recharge.
Components of the Plant Bed Kit
Street gratings with built-in drop
- Placed in the street, it efficiently directs water to the plant bed.
- The built-in waterfall helps optimize water flow and reduces the risk of clogging during high rainfall.
Bottom part under the grate
- Leads the water through the curb line and further out into the plant bed.
- The design ensures controlled water distribution without risk of erosion or water accumulation.
Corten steel bracket in the curb line
- Reinforces and stabilizes the curb transition while maintaining an aesthetic design.
- The Corten steel provides durable protection and forms a natural patina that blends into the urban environment.
Corten and ductile iron spreader bar/sand trap
- The spreading tray acts as a combination of water distributor and sand trap to prevent clogging and ensure optimal infiltration into the plant bed.
- The combination of corten steel and ductile iron provides a robust construction that can withstand high loads and prolonged exposure to the elements.
Advantages of plant bed kits
Efficient stormwater distribution
Prevents flooding by directing and infiltrating large amounts of rainwater directly on site.
Natural purification
The plant beds act as a natural filter, purifying the water from pollutants before it infiltrates into the soil.
Groundwater recharge
By infiltrating rainwater locally, the system helps to maintain and improve groundwater levels.
Sustainable materials
All parts are made from robust and weather-resistant materials such as corten steel and ductile iron for long life and minimal maintenance.
Areas of use
Plant bed kit is perfect for projects where hard surfaces meet green solutions
- Streets and squares with planting areas
- Parking areas with tree plantings
- Urban development areas in need of green stormwater infrastructure
We are happy to help you implement Plant Bed Kits in your next project and offer customized solutions if needed.
