Terminal Building, Airport Ibiza/Spain

To enhance the visual appearance of the surrounding roof areas and therefore to improve the view from the waiting hall, the operator of the Ibiza Airport decided for a green roof. However, a weight restriction of approx. 95 kg/m² needed to be considered. Therefore the installers were forced to use a substrate that would guarantee a specific weight of only 850 kg/m³ but at the same time would provide an adequate nutrient supply. The system substrate that was offered by the ZinCo associated company Cubiertas Ecológicas S.L., met all these conditions. To ensure a balanced water and air supply drainage elements of the type Floradrain® FD 40-E were applied on the entire roof area before. The photographs prove the success of the works. Shortly after the completion of the landscaping works the vegetation shows a covering of almost 100 % – also due to the integrated drip irrigation.
