TAMPA BAY, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 6, 2024 / Atlantic Power & Infrastructure Corp. (OTC PINK:AWSL) is pleased to announce that its proprietary product, Flexi®-Pave, has proved once again to be a major success for tree surround installations in the City of Las Vegas, Nevada, leading to the approval of more planned projects for city maintenance and beautification in the coming year. The product's unique composition allows for flexibility, aeration and filtration while mitigating the liability so often associated with broken concrete and asphalt and tree root hazards.
According to researchers, just as water takes the path of least resistance, so too do tree roots as they grow. This means that every year, urban tree root systems continue to search for nutrients over compacted soil covered with asphalt, concrete or pavers until the root system's strength pushes through the barrier, creating additional maintenance costs and potential liability claims, burdening the tax digest. Research into the causes, effects, costs and potential solutions of these very issues span decades and international borders. This is a global urbanization issue, but it is not one that cannot be addressed.

The City of Las Vegas has enjoyed not only the beauty of the tree surrounds over this last year but also their cost-efficiency and risk mitigating factors. CEO and Chairman, Kevin Bagnall, stated, "The tree roots will always search for moisture and air. Flexi®-Pave allows the water to go down, and the air is there within the 23% dynamic pore space in the Flexi®-Pave material." He continued, "The tree root will grow downwards as nature intended as opposed to the tree root searching for moisture that naturally exists beneath the impervious concrete or asphalt which ultimately results in the cracking sidewalk through tree root intrusion."
