Ductile Iron Tree Pool Grate for Municipal Garden Landscaping Construction Tree Pit Guard Board Ventilation Casting Services

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Tree Pit Guard & Drainage Cover: Designed to protect tree roots and drainage systems by allowing airflow and water flow while preventing debris ingress.
  • Ventilation & Structural Support: The grid pattern ensures proper soil aeration for tree health while supporting pedestrian traffic in municipal and landscaping projects.

Key features

  • 1. Durable Ductile Iron Construction

  • With corrosion-resistant ductile iron, ensure long-lasting performance in outdoor municipal environments. This material offers superior strength compared to traditional cast iron*, resisting rust and wear for decades.

  • 2. Optimized Grid Drainage Design

  • With the precision-engineered grid pattern, efficiently drain water while blocking debris larger than 1cm, preventing clogs in tree pits and drainage systems. The central circular opening aligns seamlessly with standard municipal drain sizes.

  • 3. High Load-Bearing Capacity

  • With a load rating of 800 kg/m², safely support heavy vehicular traffic and pedestrian use in urban areas. Outperforms lightweight aluminum grates in structural integrity*.

  • 4. Tree Pit Ventilation & Protection

  • Designed specifically for municipal landscaping, the grated ventilation system promotes root aeration while shielding trees from soil compaction and debris ingress. Ideal for urban tree pit installations.

  • 5. Compliance with Municipal Standards

  • Manufactured to meet ASTM A536 Grade 65-40-12 specifications for ductile iron quality, ensuring compliance with municipal construction and safety regulations.

Supplier's note

  1. Three Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Ductile Iron Strength: ASTM A536 compliance ensures 40% higher impact resistance than standard cast iron, preventing deformation in heavy-use zones.
    • Enhanced Coatings: The Advanced Model’s dual-layer coating outperforms industry benchmarks by reducing rust formation in salt-rich coastal environments.
    • Modular Design: The Pro Model’s adjustable grid spacing (patent-pending) allows tailored drainage for specific tree species’ root requirements.
  2. Version Selection Guide:

    • Base Model: Ideal for residential parks or low-traffic areas needing basic durability.
    • Advanced Model: Suited for commercial zones (e.g., shopping districts) where heavy foot traffic and salt de-icing are common.
    • Pro Model: Best for municipal projects requiring long-term reliability (e.g., city boulevards) and customization for unique tree pit geometries.

With the Pro Model’s 1,500 kg/m² load capacity, you can safely install grates in high-traffic plazas while maintaining root health. Pair its corrosion resistance with urban tree pits exposed to winter de-icing chemicals to eliminate premature replacement costs.
