Are you a builder? Do you have any experience installing and maintaining green roofs? Your assertion than you'd typically use several waterproofing layers suggests not. I have experience building these systems in the real world and the documentation to support their use. BTW - flat roofs aren't a thing. Expect in traditional building in desert areas. "Flat" roofs aren't flat.

I'm a construction engineer, though I think that's just civil engineer in lot of the world.

I assumed everyone knew what I meant. See some apartment building roofs.
