EcoTechnoPark: greening of roofs

On July 1, 2017, visitors to EcoFest held near Maryina Gorka, in addition to inspiring demonstration of rolling stock of transport of the future and long-awaited communication with like-minded people, could enjoy the flavor of flowering gardens not only at SkyWay EcoTechnoPark site, but also on the roofs of anchor supports and the guesthouse.

SkyWay technology was initially developed by Anatoly Yunitskiy with the aim to raise the quality of man's life by environmental improvement. General designer started to pay special attention to this aspect of string transport 25-30 years ago, when due to the shortage of urban land and challenging ecological situation in the cities there appeared an acute problem of using roofs of buildings, underground and semi-underground garages, overpasses and other manmade structures for the creation of architectural and landscape objects with the use of green spaces and beautification features.

In recent years, the expansion of areas for green spaces goes on slower than the growth of urban population. As a result, the provision of public green spaces for urban residents is markedly reduced. According to SkyWay creator's intention, green roofs should ensure improvement of living standards and man's health, to make the surrounding hostile urban environment comfortable and close to natural conditions.

In September last year, we greened the roof of the SkyWay transport and logistics hub combined with the first anchor support, in May this year - the roof of the guesthouse. Greening of the second anchor support is also completed.

In 2016-2017 SkyWay Technologies Co. completed a total of 3 projects on greening roofs of residential and industrial buildings with a total area of 236 sq. m. Besides using the already existing experience, we have a positive result of our own work. In cooperation with the research institutions of the Belarusian National Academy of Sciences, the Company has developed a special composition of soil for roof greening, obtained Technical Specifications and conducted registration of the soil composition in the State Committee for Standardization of the Republic of Belarus. This means that we have the right to sell this special soil on the territory of our country.

We have mastered several types of activities in this direction. In addition to greening roofs of residential buildings, Anatoly Yunitskiy has developed the technology for using a soil layer of a few meters thickness at anchor supports instead of concrete to significantly reduce the cost of their construction. Thus, several goals were achieved at the same time. Moreover, our rooftop garden has already wintered proving its viability and the plants even produce fruits in it! Apples are unusually delicious there, and a high official from the UAE, who has recently visited SkyWay EcoTechnoPark, tasted strawberries there and called them the most delicious out of those he had ever eaten in his life. It is also worthy to mention the fact that our scientists have managed to build a reserve of nutrients for plants in the gardens on the roof for a whole century!

Thus, SkyWay Technologies Co. was the first to implement absolutely independently the project of greening roofs in a much shorter time and much more efficiently than all competitors were able, being the exclusive owner of a truly unique technology.
