Development in an Urban Environment

Columbia Green's patented Advanced Vegetative Roof System® (AVRS®) incorporates Eco-Technology that enhances storm-water detention, filtration, retention and evapo-transpiration at the source. 

Through the use of engineered detention troughs, drainage orifices, bio-filtration growing media, phyto-remediation plants, and storm-water retention Columbia Green's AVRS®system can improve stream quality in watersheds while reducing urban inflows to a city’s storm-water system. 

Columbia Green's AVRS® system lowers the overall Eco-Roof cost of design, installation and maintenance for new development, urban retrofits and revitalization projects. 

AVRS® Trays is the only modular Eco-Roof system that is a fully interconnected and integrated roof system that encapsulates the roof.  It is also available in pre-grown, post-planted, tiles and hydro-planted succulent, local and native plants.

AVRS® Multilayer is the only multilayer Eco-Roof system that provides positive airflow up through the system while allowing measured detention and retention down through the system.  It is available in post-planted, tiles and hydro-planted succulent, local and native plants.

Both the AVRS® Trays and AVRS® Multilayer system can be combined to form a hybrid eco-system for maximum stormwarter management incorporating creative design for shaped and angular areas.
