To provide a lightweight, extensive green roof system for a curved roof.

Extensive green roofs have a shallow profile which means that there is less substrate volume to store water and support root growth, limiting the variety of plant options.  Also, a curved roof structure would represent challenges such as the retention of water for healthy plant growth and soil retention.

Therefore, Elmich’s Enviromix^® PB, a lightweight organic planting board enhanced with nutrients that are beneficial for healthy plant growth, was selected as the optimal choice for the greening of the curved roof due to its lightweight and erosion-proof properties.

The modular and flexible planting board is easy to handle and install, simply by abutting against each other, with minimal loose media for installers to deal with. The high water absorbency and retention properties of the planting board help to slow down stormwater runoff during periods of high rainfall. In prolonged dry spells, a drip irrigation system helps to maintain and sustain the green roof.

To enhance the drainage capabilities of the green roof, Elmich’s VersiCell^® drainage cells were placed underneath the planting boards and beneath a layer of geotextile. VersiCell^® provides effective drainage of excess water to prevent waterlogging that would add to the structural load of the roof.

Twelve different plant species were used. Namely, Sphagneticola trilobata (wedelia), Cyanotis cristata, Portulaca grandiflora, Ipomoea pes-caprae, Callisia repens, Euphorbia tithymaloides, Hemigraphis repanda, Tradescantia pallida, Russelia equisetiformis, Russelia equisetiformis aurea, Russelia equisetiformis ‘salmon pink’ and Russelia equisetiformis ‘yellow’.

Besides helping the rooftops to aesthetically blend with the lush greenery of the park, the green roof serves as an insulation barrier for the campus, protecting the waterproofing membrane of the roof as well as reducing heat absorption, bringing down the school’s cooling energy costs.

Singapore

To provide a green wall system to harvest the condensate from the air conditioner as its water source.

VersiWall® GP LW was used to establish a living wall with dimensions of 6m (width) by 2.8m (height). Plant area totalling approx. 13 square metres. The living wall comprised of 42 VGP LW (500mm) trays and 24 VGP LW (250mm) trays.

Wire ropes were used to suspend and align the lightweight trays according to its stipulated design. Boston ferns and EnviroMix soilless planting media were used in consideration of its indoor and low-maintenance requirements.

Grow lights installed are programmed to be only switched on at night to provide sufficient lighting for healthy plant growth. Stainless steel drainage trays were installed for draining off excess water to prevent any unsightly water accumulation at the base of the wall.es concealed beneath the raised pavers.

Qazvin, Iran

To provide a system of green walls for the decoration of interior walls of restaurant premises.

Over an area totalling 42 sqm, 1344 VersiWall GP (VGP) 2060 trays were mounted on Elmich’s proprietary VGM mounting panels which were installed on the interior walls of the restaurant. The anchoring system of the trays allow them to be mounted in close proximity, allowing the plants to create a dense overlapping wall with no gaps in between. To protect the trays from being dislodged accidentally by restaurant staff and patrons, anti-lift arms were inserted into the individual trays, locking them in place and preventing the dislodgement of VGP trays from their mounts.

The VGP 2060 trays were planted with a variety of plants to provide a luscious backdrop of living greenery, creating a warm, comfortable, and relaxed ambience for the modern Italian restaurant.

To provide a non-slip walking pathway for beach event.

To provide a non-slip walking pathway for beach event.

TrackGard® was used to create a guided and relatively sand-free walkway for a sand sculpting exhibition of over 2,400m². The transformation of ordinary sand into incredible works of art attracted over 80,000 visitors over a 4-day event period.

The hexagonal design of each tile allows for interlocking supports on all six sides to provide excellent strength and durability for heavy foot traffic, even on unstable soft substrates such as sand.

In comparison with metal-plated or concrete flooring setup, this solution requires no heavy machinery to load to the event site. Assembly is done on-site and, removal or deployment requires shorter lead time as opposed to the former flooring methods mentioned.

Stadium

To provide ground protection for heavy military vehicle display.

TrackGard® was used to create temporary ground protection for heavy military vehicular displays of up to 20,000 kg per vehicle.

The hexagonal design of each tile allows for interlocking supports on all six sides to provide excellent security and durability for heavy vehicular traffic when the military vehicles drove in position. The honeycombed structure on the underside of each tile is designed to provide support for extreme loads. A geotextile fabric is placed underneath for guided placement of the tiles according to a floorplan layout.

Outdoor Event Space

To provide a temporary activity platform and walking pathway for an outdoor event.

TrackGard^® was used to create a temporary event platform for fans to discover their inner Jedi through a “Padawan Training” activity over a 10-day period.

The hexagonal design of each tile allows for interlocking supports on all six sides to provide excellent strength and durability for heavy foot traffic.  The colours of the TrackGard^® tiles were customised to match the theme of the event, and stickers of the Emblem of the Rebel Alliance were pasted on the tiles for decorative purposes.

The non-slip surface of the TrackGard^® tiles reduced possibilities of accidental slipping during periods of wet weather. The easy to install TrackGard^® system minimised assembly and disassembly times, preventing inconvenience towards pedestrians.

Golf Course

To provide temporary ground protection for vehicular access on the golf course.

TrackGard® was used to create temporary ground protection for vehicular access (golf cart access) on a golf course.

The hexagonal design of each tile allows for interlocking supports on all six sides to provide excellent strength and durability for vehicular traffic. A series of halved tiles were also used on the edges to create a straight pathway.

F1 Pit Building

To provide temporary event flooring and walking pathway for an outdoor venue.

TrackGard® was used to create a temporary event area and pedestrian pathway at F1 Pit Building to accommodate event goers for the Formula 1 Night Race.

The hexagonal design of each tile allows for interlocking supports on all six sides to provide excellent strength and durability for heavy foot traffic.  The non-slip surface of the TrackGard® reduced possibilities of accidental slipping during periods of rainfall.

Padang, Singapore

To provide temporary ground cover and walking pathway for Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon.

TrackGard^® was used to create a temporary footpath and race village area at Padang, accommodating over 48,000 Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon runners.

The hexagonal design of each tile allows for interlocking supports on all six sides to provide excellent strength and durability for heavy foot traffic.

TrackGard^® also served as a markup of the different areas within the race village including a designated parking area for authorised heavy vehicles. The non-slip surface of the TrackGard^® also prevented accidental slipping due to wet floor conditions brought about by the rain and provided a mud-free walkway for runners.

Aldington, Ashford, Kent, UK

To provide a green wall system to improve the entrance to their offices, add visual interest and reduce the environmental impact of a warehouse in a rural location.

Elmich VersiWall^® GP (VGP) was used to establish a living wall with dimensions of 4.8m (width) by 2.4m (height), totalling 11.5 square metres. The living wall comprised of 200 VGP 2060 trays mounted on a 75mm weld mesh panel framework suspended on mesh brackets, which are secured to a Unistrut metal framing system bolted to the building.

Inadvertent dislodgment of the VGP trays by inclement weather was prevented by the insertion of anti-lift arms into the hooks of the trays, effectively locking the trays to the mounting panel. An automated drip irrigation system was incorporated to deliver irrigation and nutrients to the plants in the individual trays on the wall at programmed intervals for pre-set durations with the aid of a control panel.

The trays are then planted with different hues of Heucheras to achieve the desired aesthetic effect.
