Stratavault
Benefits
- Modules assemble to form an interconnected matrix, so applied loads are shared and lateral strength maximized.
- Increased apertures permit larger conduits, service pipes and aeration systems
- Made from 100% recycled polymers; ensuring maximum environmental benefit & ‘Green Building’ contribution
- Modules ‘snap-together’ incredibly fast, providing super-efficient assembly time on site (records show it takes approx 2 mins/m³!)
- No zip ties, screws or ground spikes required to fasten this system together; again providing super-fast and ‘hassle free’ assembly on site.
- Made in strategic locations in North America and Australia; supporting local industries and complying with green building requirements.
- Modules are designed to nest, giving significant volume reduction, and minimising shipping costs.
- No steel components required for strength; therefore nothing to rust or corrode
- Continuous physical laboratory tests of strength are conducted to ensure integrity of modules and quality assurance. Whilst FEA testing (Finite Element Analysis) is great during the design stages, we prefer to go by real life static and cyclic load testing in laboratories.
Assembly

Volume reduction for freight
Another unique design feature of the Stratavault system is the significant volume reduction for freight. With increasing scrutiny placed on use of fossil fuels and shipping costs, it was decided that this unit must achieve major volume reductions for shipping. The innovative nesting design is protected by worldwide patents and design registration, as are all other design features.Engineered Design with 100% Recycled Content
The Stratavault is a very highly engineered system that owes much of its incredible strength to a unique design (subject to numerous patents). So strong is this design, that the Stratavault is the world’s strongest large soil cell without relying on any steel bars (subject to corrosion), or glass reinforcement, or virgin resins. This module is 100% stronger than other brand soil cells, and is made entirely from recycled plastic. Due to the emphasis Citygreen places on environmentally sustainable systems, over 700,000kg/700Tonne of plastic are saved from landfill every year.Ultimate, Proven Strength

Energy Use
The use of virgin resins in a product for the Green Building Industry has never been a part of the Stratavault development program. Virgin plastics have an unacceptably high level of embodied energy, whereas recycling waste plastic into an engineering grade product starts with a clean sheet as recognized by industry and the Green Building Council.





A Sustainable Solution for Transforming Grey Cities to Green
Revitalise cities with healthy, tree canopies while maintaining infrastructure integrity in any urban space.
Citygreen Stratavault™ revolutionises tree planting projects in city environments by maximising the soil volume available for tree roots, while also providing a stable base for roads, pavement and other installations.
With modules assembled in the form of a robust, interconnected matrix, Citygreen Stratavault™ offers easy installation and the flexibility to enable city trees to thrive even in difficult environments, producing environmental, economic and health benefits for all stakeholders.
The World’s Most Superior Soil Cell
Citygreen Stratavault™ is the most sustainable, highly engineered large soil cell designed to install easily under sidewalks and parking lots, enabling trees to accept, store and transmit water, nutrients and energy, while giving roots sufficient room to propagate.
Its unique matrix design and high-strength modules can also withstand significant vehicular loads and traffic, preventing sidewalks, roads and buildings from getting damaged by long-term root growth.
The innovative nesting design of Citygreen Stratavault™ is designed to reduce freight and implementation costs. Its apertures are even large enough to incorporate some common conduits, service pipes and aeration systems within the structure.
Citygreen Stratavault™ is made from recycled and reused plastics yet offers the highest durability rating, offering a practical structural soil cell that also promotes sustainability.
Quick Assembly
The units of Citygreen Stratavault™ snap together easily. You don’t need zip ties, screws or ground spikes to fasten them together, reducing installation challenges.
Engineered Strength
Due its positive lateral and vertical connectors, an assembled Citygreen Stratavault™ matrix is considered the ultimate load bearing “root cell” structure.
Quality Control
Stratavault™ modules are crush tested during manufacture as part of the rigorous quality control standards required by Citygreen.
Reduced Energy Use
Virgin plastics have an unacceptably high level of embodied energy, which is why we don’t use new or single-use plastics for the production of Stratavault™.

Developed to make the installation phases of projects easier and faster.
The SmartCertify hold point platform was developed to streamline the compliance element of Citygreen’s soil cell projects, through customization of advanced cloud smart technology. Enabling the installation team to watch videos for further understanding and snap progress photos using their smartphone or tablet, at set hold points throughout construction, to be uploaded in real-time to the cloud. Allowing Citygreen’s technical team, as well as other project partners, real-time updates on installation progress.
