To create an efficient irrigation system for a vertical garden that requires a precise distribution of water and nutrients to each plant. In addition, the garden was intended to function as a thermal insulation and cooling system, reducing energy consumption.
AZUD has implemented its anti-drainage drip irrigation system with AZUD NAVIA ND technology, designed to adapt to installations with significant topographical unevenness and high-yield crops.
NAVIA is the range of self compensating and anti-drainage drippers that adapts to the irrigation of installations with significant topographical unevenness as well as high yielding crops in greenhouses.
This advanced technology combines a wide range of self-compensation with excellent uniformity in the application of water and fertilisers.
AZUD’s pulse irrigation system has transformed the CaixaForum Vertical Garden into an outstanding example of how advanced irrigation technology can improve sustainability and efficiency in urban landscaping projects. The garden has not only aesthetically improved the urban landscape, but has also contributed significantly to the energy efficiency of the building, consolidating itself as a milestone in urban landscaping innovation and environmental sustainability.
