Terranova reshapes land elevation to enable construction in flood-prone areas, accelerating project readiness by achieving full soil consolidation in hours. This process supports the development of new housing, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects. The company provides immediate, buildable sites where traditional land development would be slow or impossible.

Problem
Coastal flooding, exacerbated by climate change, poses a significant threat to infrastructure, leading to shutdowns and economic disruption. Traditional methods of addressing this issue are often costly and do not contribute to carbon sequestration.
Solution
Levitree employs a patented underground wood slurry injection technique to elevate structures and roadways, providing a proactive defense against rising sea levels. This process not only protects critical infrastructure from the impacts of coastal flooding but also facilitates the permanent sequestration of carbon in the subsurface. By utilizing wood slurries, Levitree offers a dual benefit: mitigating flood risk and contributing to carbon removal efforts. The injected wood acts as a long-term carbon sink, effectively addressing both climate adaptation and mitigation challenges.
Target Audience
Target customers include municipalities, transportation authorities, and property developers seeking sustainable and effective solutions for coastal flood mitigation and carbon sequestration.
Features
- Underground wood slurry injection for structural elevation
- Carbon sequestration within the subsurface soil matrix
- Resilience API (Coming Soon) for climate risk assessment and adaptation planning
