code of practice,’ published in November
2018, does make reference to blue roofs
and addresses the important issue of falls.
Though blue and green roofs add extra
dimensions to the uses and value of roofs,
they also require an additional dimension of
care with respect to design, installation and
quality control.
Typical CPD content would include green
specification considerations, including
compatible roofing system specification,
usage and structural requirements; vegetation
and planting methods; maintenance and
aftercare; and green roofs in practice. While
in-depth, expert calculation and design input
should ideally be sought from manufacturers,
such CPDs provide an invaluable overview to
understanding the nature, options and issues
surrounding these structures.
Companies such as BMI UK & Ireland can
provide specification, design and technical
expertise throughout the process. They can
deliver advice and quality assurance during
the installation process to ensure that the
delivered roof – and amenity – meets the
designs module.
