<font font="" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"><span class="main">(Pittsburgh,
PA)- The street trees outside of the new August Wilson Center for
African American Culture are among the first to benefit from
underground soil cell technology call Silva Cells. It is comprised of
open stacks of plastic "cells" that are sturdy enough to support a
sidewalk above while housing non-compacted soil in the voids below. The
cells also have the added benefit of providing additional storm water
storage on site, which decreases the load on the City's storm system.</span></font><font font="" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"><span class="main"></span></font><font font="" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"><span class="main"></span></font><font font="" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"><span class="main"></span></font><font font="" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"><span class="main"></span></font><font font="" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"><span class="main"></span></font><font font="" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"><span class="main"></span></font></p>
