Fire Access Road

Case Study Project Information: Creation of Fire Lane at Dell Customer Care Center

Dell, the world’s largest computer maker, announced plans in July 2004 to open a Customer Care Center in Oklahoma City. While initial plans for the project were for a 250-person customer care center, the scope of the project changed quite drastically when Dell officials decided instead to build a high profile campus with a workforce of over 1,000 persons.

A facility of this size would require dual fire access roads, and EZ Roll Grass Paver was selected for its durability and ease of installation - with cross-links connecting the flexible rows of nested cells, the product ships in 600 sq ft rolls and can be rolled out on the job site. On a job of this size, such a product feature was key, and saved significant time during installation.

EZ Roll Grass Pavers are also manufactured from 100% recycled material, making them a fitting choice for Dell.

Since the initial installation, Dell has committed to becoming the "greenest" technology company on the planet.

Today, Dell powers the Oklahoma City Campus with 100% wind energy, and the grass on the fire lane access roads is green and thriving.
