Located in the heart of Tours, this primary school wanted to green and de-seal its playground to offer pupils a more welcoming and enjoyable environment.
\nThe goal was to break with the fully asphalted space and create real green zones, while maintaining safety and friendliness. At ATECH, we took up this challenge by proposing aluminium kerb<\/a><\/strong> to structure the schoolyard and design relaxing, shaded areas. We also supplied bottomless planters<\/strong><\/a> specially designed for this project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”CLIENT” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:left|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1736959053612{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_separator css=”” wd_hide_on_desktop=”no” wd_hide_on_tablet=”no” wd_hide_on_mobile=”no”][vc_custom_heading text=”City of Tours” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:left|color:%23000000|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1747641694111{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eurovia.fr%2Fagences%2F5849-watelet-tp”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”MATERIALS” font_container=”tag:h6|text_align:left|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1747641707342{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_separator css=”” wd_hide_on_desktop=”no” wd_hide_on_tablet=”no” wd_hide_on_mobile=”no”][vc_custom_heading text=”POWDER-COATED ALUMINIUM

\nThe design is structured around an existing steel framework allowing shade sails to be stretched overhead.
\nWe arranged the aluminium kerb<\/strong> and bottomless planters around the perimeter to create shaded zones with benches and vegetation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”DISCOVER OUR BOTTOMLESS PLANTERS” style=”classic” shape=”square” color=”black” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.atech-sas.com%2Fen%2Fproduct-category%2Flandscaping-equipment%2Fgarden-planters%2F|title:BOTTOMLESS%20PLANTERS”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]\t\t

This material was selected for its excellent outdoor durability.
\nEach corner was equipped with rubber protection<\/strong> to ensure a high level of safety for school use.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20″ woodmart_hide_large=”0″ woodmart_hide_medium=”0″ woodmart_hide_small=”0″][vc_btn title=”DISCOVER OUR EDGING SOLUTIONS” style=”classic” shape=”square” color=”black” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.atech-sas.com%2Fen%2Fproduct-category%2Flandscaping-equipment%2Fedges-and-kerbs%2F|title:Edges%20and%20Kerbs”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n\t\t

\nThe bottomless planters and edging promote root development and efficient drainage\u2014ensuring a durable layout that resists weather and heavy foot traffic from pupils.[\/vc_column_text]\n\t\t

Positive feedback: comfort and conviviality regained<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text css=”” text_larger=”no” woodmart_inline=”no”]Initial feedback shows that both pupils and staff appreciate these shaded areas, which offer spaces to relax and chat outside the classroom.
\nThe presence of greenery also cools the playground and enhances the overall school environment.<\/p>\n

To further the project to green the schoolyard<\/strong>, the school is already planning to add more plant species and possibly new urban furniture modules to extend the experience.[\/vc_column_text]\n\t\t
