Green Roof
Design and Construction Specialist
I design
and construct “Proudly
South African” Bio-Diverse Green
Roofs
I am
without a shadow of a doubt the most knowledgeable and experienced
green roof
design and construction expert in South Africa. I have 23
years of green
roof design and construction experience gained both in Germany and in South Africa.
I was the
overall technical advisor, plant expert as well as the green roof
design and
construction expert on the team that undertook the first green roof
research done
in South Africa which was carried out by the City of Durban under the
direction
of masters degree student Clive Greenstone.
Drawing on
local knowledge gained from our green roof research Clive Greenstone
and I
co-authored a green roof construction guide for the City of Durban.
I have also
designed and constructed a number of large green roofs in association
with
Clive Greenstone.
I have done
and continue to do private research into growing mediums and to source
and do suitability
trials with potentially suitable local indigenous plants for growing on
green
roofs.
I am the
expert when it comes to green roof design and construction here in South Africa to learn more about the
development
of Bio-Diverse Green Roofs in South Africa view this video and read
