With the keen emphasis on environmental sustainability, the project contractor and architect turned to GreenBlue Infrastructure Solutions to provide the systems required to ensure longevity of the trees being planted. Using the StrataCell structural soil support system, the Navy Pier was able to ensure that the new trees planted would live a long and healthy life – while providing the load bearing characteristics required for the area.
