The main objectives for this project were high load-bearing capacity and firm and secure positioning of the individual floor elements. In addition, planting played an important role, as the area was to become indistinguishable from a natural grass surface once fully established.

The European Patent Office (EPO) is responsible for examining and granting patents for all European countries. For its branch office in Munich in the Capitellum, the EPO chose a permeable solution using ECORASTER ground reinforcement elements to stabilize the ground for a fire department access road. High-duty E50 elements with a axle load of 20 metric tonnes (DIN 1072) were used for this project.
