    Tree Grates

    Complement Your Streetscape

    Cast Ion ... Te Natal Coice. Cast iron grating is strong, durable, and

    stands up to harsh environmental conditions. In its natural state, gray iron

    develops a pleasant, dark brown patina as it ages. Cast iron is inherently

    resistant to corrosion rom natural elements and will last or many, many

    years in its original state.

    All grates are Made in the USA and contain a minimum o 85% recycled

    materials. Hundreds o tons per day o waste errous materials, including

    old car parts, appliances, and obsolete arm equipment are recycled to

    produce castings or your inrastructure.

    Tree Grates That Complement Your Streetscape

    Tree grates manuactured by EJ are durable, unctional, and

    architecturally appealing, and promote healthy tree growth.

    Outdoors, the grates provide natural drainage and enhance any

    urban, campus, or park setting. Tree grates provide more area or

    pedestrian activity while protecting developing trees and rootsystems, also making them a perect application or indoor malls.

    Expandable tree openings allow or tree growth. See page 5 or

    details. The slotted design allows or ecient watering and is ADA

    compliant or pedestrian saety. The narrow slot o an ADA grate

    also prohibits litter rom collecting in the tree well and minimizes the

    growth o weeds.

    Tree Grates

    Expandable Tree Openings

    Remove or replace the center ring as your tree grows

    Among the oering o available tree grate

    eatures are numerous models with optional

    center ring inserts, which can be removed

    later to accommodate or growth o the tree.

    The removable center rings are a convenient

    way to adjust (expand) the tree grate

    opening diameter as the tree trunk grows in

    width. As you plan ahead or plantings andtree pit maintenance o the streetscape,

    order your grate with one or more o the

    optional rings. Later, you may remove or

    swap out a ring to increase the opening size

    during a higher growth phase as the tree

    matures.

    Another situation or which the rings are

    benecial is when changing out an older

    growth tree. I you need to remove an

    existing tree and re-plant with another, insert

    a ring to the grate so that the opening is a

    more appropriate t or your new tree. Overtime, as the young tree grows, remove the

    ring to expand the opening diameter again

    when needed.

    A 16" removable center ring is used when planting a young tree. This helps protect the vulnerable tree.

    A 24" removable center ring is inserted to the grate to accomodates tree growth or a maturing tree.

    Poor size selection or the tree opening results in a

    unnished look, signcantly crowds the tree, and impairs

    proper tree growth.

    Odeing/Application Example

    The 8692 Provence series 48" x 72" rectangular grate has a standard 30" diameter tree opening. To narrow the tree

    opening to a diameter o 18", order the 8692 30-18D center ring, and insert/install it by placing the two hal-rings on to

    the inner lip o the standard opening, and bolt them together to orm the complete ring. To narrow the tree opening to

    a diameter o 24", order the 8692 30-24D center ring, and install/bolt together in the same manner to complete the

    ring. Later on, either ring is removable or replaceable to create the desired size opening and accommodate or the

    growth o your tree.

    Plan ahead and your streetscape

    will remain beautiul or decades!

    environmental improvement and use production

    processes and controls that minimize our impact

    on the environment.

    O Podcts and LEED Cedits

    Products manuactured by EJ may earn you LEED credits in the

    Materials and Resources category. Our environmentally riendly

    products and standards oer real benets to any company

    choosing green construction.

    Our castings contain over 85% recycled content and our oundries

    meet some o the most stringent environmental regulations in the

    world.

    Leading Te wa

    We greatly value our customers and the relationships we have

    cultivated over the past 129 years in the business. With your support

    we will continue to lead the construction castings industry and addvalue to the design, manuacture, and distribution o our products.

    To us, environmental

    protection is a personal

    concern because, like you,

    we want to breathe clean

    air, drink safe water, and

    enjoy our environment.

    Thousands o tons o scrap metal, that otherwise may be strewn

    across the country side or dumped in landlls, are recycled annuallyand turned into useable inrastructure products.

    Our oundries meet the Environmental Protection Agencys new

    air quality Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards

    (MACT). The MACT rules require stack testing and additional record

    keeping and reporting on several air pollution control systems.

    Heated air once lost to the environment is now captured and reused

    in the melting process.

    Over 90% o our green sand is reclaimed daily and reused in our

    process.

    EJ makes use o the by-products rom the melt process whenever

    possible. In oundry terms, one o these substances is called Slag.

    It is known to other industries as Calcium Stabilizer because o its

    high calcium content and lack o metallics. It can be reused by other

    industries to replace ne aggregate in products such as asphalt,

    portland cement, and concrete blocks. During harsh winter months,

    county road commissions use calcium stabilizer or sanding roads to

    improve vehicle traction.

    Cast Ion Natural Patina

    Asphaltic base paint, powder coating, and other materials used to

    paint castings are simply cosmetic and provide no value to your

    inrastructure.

    Unlike steel, cast iron has much higher concentrations o carbon and

    silicon, which provide a substantial resistance to corrosion. Cast iron

    has been known to unction or centuries without ailure.

    Painting can be used to conceal casting deects, and many

    departments o transportation speciy non-painted castings as a

    protective measure against this problem.

    Unpainted tree grates, over time, develop a natural patina when exposed to the

    elements. This appealing color blends nicely with the surrounding environment.
