Orchard Road, Singapore

To construct a channel drainage system around the perimeters of the house.

1. A  50 m³ pit was excavated around the perimeters of the house.
2. VersiTank^® modules enveloped with a permeable geotextile fabric were installed in the pit, covered with coarse sand and topped with planting soil, forming an underground channel drainage system which doubles as a rainwater harvesting and detention system (Image 1 & 2).
3. This system reduces irrigation requirements as rainwater captured and stored beneath the ground is channeled to the plants via the permeable geotextile fabric.
4. VersiTank^® modules enveloped with a permeable geotextile fabric were also installed as a void filler within the planter boxes. (Image 2)

Pullman Singapore Hill Street

To establish high-quality medium to massive-sized lush green walls by the outdoor swimming pool, at the rooftop terraces, by the infinity pool, on the hotel’s façade, and at the lobby’s pick-up/drop off point

700sqm of VersiWall^® GP (VGP) 2060 Trays were mounted on aluminium panels, establishing high-quality medium to massive-sized lush green walls by the outdoor swimming pool, at the rooftop terraces, by the infinity pool, on the hotel’s façade, and at the lobby’s pick-up/drop off point.

Automated irrigation systems were also built into the green walls, releasing precise amounts of water at predetermined times to sustain the plants.

VersiWall^® GP (VGP) 2060 is designed with multiple security features to prevent its accidental dislodgement during high winds. A six-point anchoring system, combined with anti-lift tabs, keeps the trays firmly in place even with wind speeds of up to 108km/h.

Each VersiWall^® GP (VGP) 2060 Tray has a water reservoir with a cover designed to allow re-use of stored water via capillary action to sustain plant growth during dry months. Excess water flows into underlying trays or is discharged through a drainage outlet, ensuring every plant receives the water they need for healthy growth.

Pulau Ubin, Singapore

To construct a Green Roof system beneath solar panels on the metal roof.

1. VersiDrain^® 30 trays, VersiEdge™ and EnviroMix^® GR were hoisted onto the metal roof.
2. VersiEdge™ was installed along the edges of the metal roof to create a vertical barrier to retain media and prevent erosion.
3. 1,700 m² of VersiDrain^® 30 trays (water retention and drainage layers) were installed and solar panel substructure was bolted on the metal roof.
4. Geotextile was laid on top of VersiDrain^® 30 trays and EnviroMix^® GR planting media spread over entire planting area.
5. Planting and backfilling.
6. Installation of rails of solar panel substructure.
7. Installation of Photovoltaic Modules.
8. Completion of Green Solar Roof.

The Promontory @ Marina Bay, Singapore

To provide temporary ground cover for event areas and pedestrian pathways for participants.

TrackGard^® was deployed within the vicinities of The Promontory @ Marina Bay to create temporary event areas and pedestrian pathways.

The hexagonal design of each TrackGard^® tile allows for interlocking supports on all six sides to provide excellent strength and durability for heavy foot traffic. The non-slip surface of TrackGard^® prevented accidental slipping due to wet floor conditions brought about by the rain and provided a mud-free walkway for participants.

The Gate Hotel Tokyo By Hulic, Japan

To establish an outdoor raised floor at the hotel’s open terraces at level 4.

Elmich’s VersiJack^® height and slope adjustable pedestals were used to support the raised pavers on The Gate Hotel Tokyo’s open terraces at level 4. Unsightly services are hidden beneath the raised pavers but are readily accessible for maintenance when required. Necessary adjustments for height were made with the screw and locking ring system in the pedestal creating a level surface for members and guests.

Mandai Wildlife West

To establish fire-resistant raised timber decks at the outdoor seating areas of the cafes and restaurants.

Due to the stringent fire & safety building requirements of this project, a fire-resistant version of VersiJack^® (i.e. VersiJack^® F FR) height & slope adjustable pedestals and aluminium joists were installed to support the raised timber decks of the outdoor seating areas of the cafes and restaurants. Unsightly services are hidden beneath the raised timber decks but are readily accessible for maintenance when required. Necessary height adjustments were made with the screw and locking ring system in the pedestal, creating a level surface for members and guests.

The Padang, Singapore

To provide temporary ground cover for event areas and pedestrian pathways for National Day Parade spectators, event crew and performers.

Over 2,580 square metres of TrackGard^® (robust portable flooring for temporary access and ground protection) was deployed within the vicinities to create temporary event areas and pedestrian pathways.

The hexagonal design of each TrackGard^® tile allows for interlocking supports on all six sides to provide excellent strength and durability for heavy foot traffic. The non-slip surface of TrackGard^® prevent accidental slipping due to wet floor conditions brought about by the rain and provided a mud-free walkway for spectators, event crew and performers.
