Ask Eva-Karin: we will Soon have the entire wall had grass on the top News

It is always fun to be able to follow up the things in the column. Especially if the question marks turned into exclamation points even if it takes time. As in this case.

I visited the woodland cemetery the other day and made the same determination as you.

After my visit I contacted Pär Westin, head of department at the Stockholm kyrkogårdsförvaltning and the one who has the responsibility for the so-called kröntäckningen. He told me that the work lasted for five years and that it will become clear in years.

That it has taken so long is due to the required extensive underarbete, and to mursträckan is of 3,600 metres.

– 700 metres along the Bogårdsvägen (the one that goes between the begränsningsmuren Apply), says Pär and continues:

the Wall is constructed as a beklädnadsmur with a core of mortar and a kröntäckning of concrete to prevent water penetration into the wall.

Peter teller, furthermore, that the concrete on the wall over the years has cracked and moved apart, something that has been devastating because water has been able to penetrate, and caused burst pipes in their hold.

Originally crowned the great wall of vegetation, and it is the one that is now reproduced metres for metres.

For those who are curious (like me) it might be interesting to know what is growing on the wall and Peter was not the answer required. He did not tell you what grässorterna in the specialsådda vegetationsmattan is called in English:

Rödven (Agrostis capillaris), Vårbrodd (Anthoxanthum odoratum), Kamäxling (Cynosurus cristatus), sheep fescue (Festuca ovina), Fjällgröe (Poa alpina) and Berggröe (Poa compressa).

All to the extent possible, recreate the earlier the grassy crest of the wall, " he says.

Pär choose to enter löpmeterpriset: 2.500 sek. If you multiply that with the distance stop the bill on the 9 million.

Begränsningsmuren was constructed during the difficult four days (1923-1932) as a relief work. At the time there was eight teams that worked with the wall and because the teams applied various techniques shifts the quality.
