Waterproofing protection for the roof skin beneath the green roof was provided by a root-resistant fully adhered layer of Evalon PVC/EVA terpolymer membrane, suited for intensive green roof applications.

Elmich Landscape Roof
6,000 sq m of VersiCell® drainage modules were installed beneath the geotextile filter fabric layer and the planting soil above. The drainage cavity created enables rapid transport of excess water to drainage points on the roof, preventing waterlogging at the planted roof decks, green balconies and planter boxes of the E-deck. Laid directly on the waterproofing membrane, the modules also provide a protection layer that prolongs the serviceable life of the membrane.
The landscape roof mitigates urban heat island effect by sheltering the car park roof from the sun, reducing surrounding ambient temperature and transference of heat to the car park below. Installed with large shady trees and resembling a garden park, the living roof provides additional amenity space. The landscape roof also played a pivotal part in the precinct clinching Singapore’s first Green Mark Platinum Award Public Housing Project.

To provide the pedestal systems for installation of pavers at the Pool Deck of Ramada Hotel and to support bearer joists for installation of wooded decking at the perimeter corridors of the Zhongshan Mall, and also the pathways between the building and water features of Zhongshan Park.

VersiJack and SpiraPave pedestals were used to support heavy 600mm x 600mm x 50mm stone pavers that grace the Pool Deck of the hotel and also support the joists for installation of wooden decking at the perimeter corridors of the shopping mall, and also at the pathways beside the water features of the adjacent park.

Spacer Tabs on the pedestals enabled easy creation of constant gaps between the pavers whilst bearer holders ensured that bearers remained securely in place for installation of the wooden decking. Where the installation surface is sloped to fall for drainage Slope Correctors were used to allow adjustments up to 5% to maintain a level paver and wooden decking surface.

The raised pavers and wooden decking enable essential services to be safely hidden and gaps maintained between pavers and between the decking panels allow water to drain quickly away, keeping these areas safe and dry for hotel guests as well as patrons and visitors to the mall to safely enjoy the offerings of these establishments, and also the luxuriant greenery and water features of the adjacent park.

80 Airport Boulevard, Singapore

To provide the green wall system for two “Arrival” signages at Changi Airport Terminal 1.

Stainless steel pilasters were bolted directly to the wall to enable Vertical Greening Modules (VGM), each containing a geotextile bag filled with EnviroMix® GW, a primarily inorganic soil-less lightweight planting media to be anchored. Pre-planting of the VGMs in a controlled nursery environment 2 months prior to installation ensured that the selected plants were firmly established and orientated vertically. An automated irrigation system installed supplies water and nutrients at specific times to the green wall.

The visually appealing murals of living plants at the “Arrival” signages are a befitting green welcome to returning residents and visitors from all around the world to the City in a Garden.

To provide the pedestal system for installation of raised concrete slab pavers on the rooftop of the building (VersiJack^®)

To provide extensive green roof system to enable planting on the rooftop (VersiDrain^® 25P)

VersiJack® pedestals were used to support concrete pavers on the rooftop garden to create a raised paver deck to form walkways around shallow planter boxes.

The VersiJack® pedestals allowed easy progressive height adjustments and slope correction. A constant gap between individual pavers to facilitate surface drainage was maintained by the use of Spacer Tabs while the pedestals’ integrated Locking Rings secured paver heights.

The raised paver platform allows water to drain quickly away and eliminates unsightly efflorescence forming on the paver surface. It also provides a convenient cavity that allows miscellaneous services to be hidden. Heat transference from the paver surface to the office space beneath the roof garden is also minimized. Efficient surface drainage also keeps the rooftop dry for safe enjoyment of the roof garden.

VersiDrain® 25P drainage and water retention trays were laid over the cement and sand screed protecting the waterproofing membrane in the planter boxes on the rooftop. A lightweight inorganic planting media spread on a geotextile filter fabric placed over the trays enabled the establishment of selected drought-tolerant plants.

Stored water in the tray reservoir, transferred via capillary action to the plant media, provides irrigation in dry spells. When required, easy supplementary irrigation is delivered by a network of irrigation tubes installed in the planter boxes.

Shelford Road, Singapore

To provide the green wall system to install a green wall on retaining wall of bungalow.

To facilitate easy mounting of VGP Trays, welded wire mesh panels were secured with bolts along the entire length of the retaining wall.

In-situ planting of the VGP Trays with lush and colourful plants was carried out and the VGP Trays hung onto the wire mesh according to a predetermined design. Inadvertent dislodgment of the VGP Trays by inclement weather or public mischief was prevented by insertion of anti-lift arms into the hooks of the trays, effectively locking the trays to the wire mesh.

The ease of installing VGP Trays allow for design flexibility to create eye-pleasing living walls.
