ABG's Roofdrain is the star of the show for project no. 7 in our #WGRD2023 top 10 countdown. For installations in arid regions, such as this intensive #greenroof installation at Education City in Qatar, Roofdrain provides a combined drainage and reservoir function🌞

Another recent project for #WGRD2023 post no.6., this time on a much bigger scale at Middlewood Locks in Salford, where 9,500m2 of ABG blueroof was installed to minimise #surfacewater run off from the podium deck levels as part of the development's wider #suds plan

For #WGRD2023 post no. 5 we are paying a visit to a recent #greenroof install in the picturesque location of Ambleside in the Lake District. The private residence features a colourful curved green roof design that makes use of ABG's range of geogrids and geocellular web systems.

For #WGRD2023 post no.4 we have a reminder of how important a biannual #greenroof maintenance cut is to the long-term success of the installation. The ABG Installs team have been carrying out maintenance at Woburn Forest Center Parcs UK & Ireland over a number of years🌱

For our 2nd World Green Roof Day top 10 post #WGRD2023, we bring you Moreland Primary school in Islington, where an ABG blueroof system with biodiverse #greenroof surface finish is installed. The small roof certainly packs in a lot of sustainability measures over its 1,500 sq m!

With World Green Roof Day #WGRD2023 finally here we're giving a #greenroof top 10 countdown, starting with The Oaks mixed use development on Acton high street (W3) that incorporates a large expanse of sedum green roofing, plus the ABG blueroof stormwater attenuation system

📈 Have you wondered why it's been so mild recently? Well, part of the reason is due to an amplified jet stream. This will give unseasonal warmth and cold to parts of North America this week and bring exceptionally mild air to the UK
