FAQ – YD StormVault® Urban Tree Root & Load-Bearing System

1. Can YD StormVault® support heavy surface loads such as vehicles and maintenance equipment?

Yes. YD StormVault® is engineered as a high-load soil-cell structure, capable of supporting roads, sidewalks, plazas, fire lanes, and light-to-medium vehicle traffic.
Its structural frames distribute weight evenly, preventing soil compaction, pavement settlement, or deformation over time.

2. How does YD StormVault® protect tree roots from compaction?

The modular vault creates a large, uncompacted rooting space beneath paved areas.
Its rigid frame absorbs vertical loads, ensuring soil remains loose, aerated, and ideal for healthy root expansion, even in high-traffic urban zones.

3. Can the system prevent tree roots from damaging pavements?

Yes. By providing a defined structural soil chamber, roots grow inside the StormVault® zone, not upward toward pavement layers.
This prevents issues like:

• Pavement uplift

• Trip hazards

• Cracked sidewalks

• Asphalt damage

4. How does YD StormVault® support long-term tree growth?

It ensures trees have continuous access to:

• Adequate soil volume

• Oxygen

• Filtered water and nutrients

• Root expansion space

This promotes larger canopy growth, improved survival rates, and stronger urban forest development.

5. Does StormVault® help during drought or extreme heat?

Yes. The system integrates rainwater storage + slow release, keeping soil moisture stable even during dry periods.
This increases tree resilience under heatwaves and reduces irrigation needs.

6. Can the system protect underground utilities from root intrusion?

Absolutely. By guiding roots into a controlled volume, StormVault® shields nearby:

• Drainage pipes

• Water lines

• Electrical/telecom ducts

• Foundations

Roots are prevented from entering or damaging sensitive underground infrastructure.

7. Is YD StormVault® compatible with other stormwater systems (SuDS / LID)?

Yes. It integrates seamlessly with:

• Attenuation tanks

• Infiltration systems

• Permeable pavements

• Bioswales and tree pits

• Urban drainage networks

It enhances both tree health and stormwater performance.

8. Where can StormVault® be installed?

Typical applications include:

• Urban streetscapes

• Sidewalks & plaza hardscapes

• Car parks

• Transit corridors

• Commercial & municipal landscapes

• Urban redevelopment & green-infrastructure projects

9. How long is the lifespan of YD StormVault®?

Made from recycled, high-strength engineering polymers, StormVault® provides long-term durability.
Its design life typically exceeds 50+ years, depending on soil, loading, and project conditions.

10. Does installation require specialized contractors?

Not necessarily.
Standard civil-engineering and landscaping teams can install StormVault® with basic guidance.
We provide:

• Design support

• Installation drawings

• On-site or remote technical guidance, if required.
