SECTION 09 77 00
GREEN WALL
PART 1 GENERAL
1.01 SUMMARY
A. Section includes: Work of this Section consists of furnishing all labor, materials,
equipment and services necessary to provide, install and complete in all respects,
but not limited to the following and as shown on the drawing.
1.02 REFERENCES
A. Installer Qualifications: Use skilled mechanics who are thoroughly trained and
experienced in the necessary crafts and who are completely familiar with specified
requirements and methods needed for proper installation of work.
B. UV resistance: surface material deterioration does not exceed 0.7 mm after 3 years
of direct UV exposure. (Testing based on standard NF T51-165).
C. Fire resistance: B2 rating based on DIN 4102 - Part 1. These are results of German
flammability testing on cars and building products, where components with a 70 g/l
density are rated B2 when thicknesses exceed 20 mm.
D. Frost resistance: 50 % and 1.5 MPa strain at -30 C based on ISO 844 and DIN 53
421, rigidity of the material increasing with lower temperatures, approaching its glass
transition temperature, which means a higher yield stress under compression.
E. Resistance to nitrates: shows very good resistance after prolonged nitric acid
immersion diluted at 10 % (H+NO3-: strong oxidant). Very good stability even with
respect to ketones (acetone, etc.), to alcohols, esters, mineral oils, alkalis, inorganic
acids and hot water (85 C).
F. The module insulates the substrate and roots effectively against extreme
temperatures (hot and cold).
G.
(natural light orientation of the plants), so the plants are subject to less stress.
1.04 SUBMITTALS
A. Shop Drawings: Submit shop drawings of Green wall panels indicating panel
dimensions, finish, and method of attachment to substrate to the Engineer for
approval.
B. Samples: Submit duplicate specified panel fabric samples in full range of colors for
Engineer's color selection, and samples of the panel core material. Minimum sample
size: 20cm x 20cm
C. Maintenance Data: Prepare and submit data for incorporating into the Project
Maintenance Manual. Provide recommendations for care and cleaning of panel fabric.

2.02 DESCRIPTION
A. The vertical growing system includes HDEPP modules that are ready to be fitted
on the supporting metal frame work, filled with a substrate that has been specially
developed for vertical gardens, using little water and allowing the growing of
perennials. The HDEPP modules will be mounted on a framework composed of
hot dip galvanized or stainless steel U-rails whose dimensions will be determined
by a specialized research consultancy.
B. Planting Module
3. The planting modules should have pre-formed planting cells with an angle of
and any potential replacements. Each module should have specific planting
cells to ensure a required planting density. The planting cells should have a
opening so as to allow pots to be planted without having to break up the clod.
The modules must be composed of HDEPP in order to ensure that the root
system is well insulated against extreme winter and summer temperatures.
The modules must be fully modular in order to allow any work to be carried
out behind the vertical garden.
5. Frost resistance: 50% pressure and 1.5 MPa at -30C according to ISO844
and DIN 53 421.
C. Metal Structure
1. Calculations must be carried out for the metal framework to determine the
dimensions of the different elements of the structure and the fixings on the
support that is to be covered (Hilti, Split or equivalent product). The type of
fixing must be suited to the type of support (concrete, breezeblock, etc.).
2. The supporting metal framework for the planting modules must be made up
of individual elements bolted together during on-site assembly. It will be
composed of extruding U-type vertical rails reinforced by U-type horizontal
rails. The tub/support components that accommodate the modules will be
fixed horizontally between the vertical rails. The nature of the metals used for
the structure will be determined according to the atmosphere in which the
vertical garden will be built.
3.
structure.
4. End pieces must be put in place on the side and upper sections, in colours
chosen by the Engineer.
5. A drip channel must be put in place in the lower section of the vertical garden
to collect any potential excess from watering.
D. Planting
2. Its volume must be 90L/m in order to ensure sufficient volume for the root
system.
3. Its composition must be organo-mineral (30% and 70%) and formed purely of
pozzolana, crushed clay balls, peat and hydro-retainers (reticulated
polymers).
6. The substrate should be placed in the modules at the same time as the
planting takes place.
7. The substrate must be in full contact with the root ball in order to ensure the
Provision of water to the roots.
3. A backflow device installed (during the plumbing works) on the network will
prevent any fertiliser coming back into the system.
5. Each module have 4 dripper , Different lopped networks for each wall
depending on height and pressure should be featured,1.5 bar is required on
the very top of each irrigation network.
7. The supply line must be made from 25 mm HDPE bar and the dripper lines
from 16 mm PE tubes. The 16 mm lines connected to one another at the
ends to limit loss of pressure.
8. A drainage valve must be put in place on the supply line so that the vertical
garden benefits from the whole duration of watering and from a drainage
valve so the system can be placed in frost protection mode.
11. Control room: This watering station will control the frequency and duration of
the watering of the vertical garden using an auto-timer or solenoid valve that
may or may not be remote. The control room must be equipped with:
13. Any dripping from the lower section of the vertical garden will be drained via a
galvanised or stainless steel drip channel. A water outlet (plumbing works)
14 be assembled by an in-house
watering professional.
G. Maintenance
Proper maintenance contract has to supply one year, it should include replacement
of plants, trimming and irrigation system control.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 INSPECTION
A. Examine substrates to receive Green wall panels to assure they are sound and free of
defects that would have an adverse effect on the system application.
C. Do not proceed with installation until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
3.02 INSTALLATION
A. Install Green wall panels in accordance with manufacturer's printed instructions and the
approved shop drawings.
3.03 CLEAN-UP
A. Upon completion of work, remove all rubbish and excess material resulting from the
work of this Section from building and leave areas broom clean.
