Trilium Mall: Replantation of Trees prior to Construction on Site

The Client, Tata Realty and Infrastructure Limited, in line with their policy of environmental awareness and social responsibility, wanted to preserve the existing trees on the site which was earmarked for their mall development at Amritsar.

Thus a secondary location was identified and a strategy was put in place for the delicate exercise involving the process of uprooting, transporting, replanting and tending to the trees in a new location across the road from the site.

The following photo-essay, documents the process --
