We engineered the planters in which the trees and shrubs grow. Including its contents, each planter weighs a few thousand kilograms; it has to be able to withstand weather action at a high altitude.<\/p>\n
We eventually used prefabricated concrete planters. We learned that the Netherlands does not have enough precipitation to grow a vertical forest.<\/p>\n
Even on the 18th floor, trees need water and care. Each of the 125 planters has its own sensors that maintain hydration and nutrition year-round. Our engineers laid the puzzle of water pipes, drainage and sensors.<\/p>\n","bottom_type":"none","bottom_text":"","bottom_link":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"spacer"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_image","disable_crop":false,"sticky_text":false,"image":false,"image_landscape":false,"full_image":false,"image_location":"right","text_top":"

Thanks to our detailing, the contractor\u2019s assembly order, the structural engineer\u2019s calculations and Boeri\u2019s architectural image, the residents of the Trudo Tower are surrounded by greenery.
