Intensive green roof build up. Intensive green roof build ups over roofs and podiums are designed to be trafficked and should only be installed on flat roofs. Planting and waterproofing the build up heights and weights will be dependent upon the type of planting specified however as a rough guide 300 to 1500mm are the typical depths and weights could be in the region of 400kg to over a tonne per sqm.
