Located just 5 minutes away from Marina Country Club (MCC), lies the newly developed Build-To-Order (BTO) Northshore Edge Estate that houses 388 flats.
The estate’s facilities include a childcare centre, 2 playgrounds, and fitness stations for adults and seniors. The estate also encompasses green features such as accessible roof gardens at the multi-storey carpark and planters along the link bridge.
StrataVault™ (RootCell®) modules were used beneath the 2 playgrounds located at the sides of the link bridge.
StrataVault™ (RootCell®) modules prevent soil compaction caused by building structures and give the surrounding trees adequate breathing space for healthy root growth.
StrataVault™ (RootCell®) also allows for trees to be grown closer to playgrounds, so as to shade children from Singapore’s scorching sun, reducing the likelihood of sunstroke, playground burns, and exposure to harmful UV rays.
Additionally, StrataVault™ (RootCell®) helps to facilitate rapid drainage, preventing water ponding especially after heavy downpours of rain.
