15 Joan Road – Singapore

To provide extensive planting system to enable planting on top of existing car park polycarbonate shelter in short lead time.

An aluminium sheet was installed over the rooftop to reinforce the polycarbonate rooftop to accept installation of the MEP^® Trays. The lightweight and robust MEP^® Trays were pre-planted in a nursery environment prior to installation. By using locally sourced plant species selected for their hardiness, colour and height in individual trays, desired designs and patterns were easily achieved.

The self-contained trays with water storage compartments and a capillary wick system support sustained plant growth with minimal maintenance. The system includes a support plate with anti-root overflow outlet covers, capillary wicks, geotextile filter, confinement grid, joining and fastening pegs, and a drainage network consisting of base connectors and drainage pipes installed independent of the trays. Rodent barriers were installed at the corners of the perimeter trays to prevent rodent pests from infesting the space between trays.

MEP^® Tray facilitates the almost instant greening of rooftops and allows associated benefits of the green roof to be immediately realised.

University of Adelaide – South Australia

To provide paver support to support pavers on extensive courtyard and walkway areas of the University.

VersiJack pedestals were positioned on insulation boards placed over the concrete slab to facilitate the installation of the pavers. Any rainwater quickly disperses through the gaps between pavers and is drained away enabling paver surfaces to dry out quickly. Eliminating bedding sand substantially reduced the weight bearing load on the building structure and the air gap between pavers and the waterproofed reinforced concrete slab helps to create a cooler building and also reduces sound transmission to the level below.

School of Art, Design and Media, Nanyang Technological University – Singapore

To provide waterproofing for 3 curved landscape roofs.

Waterproofing membrane (Evalon^®) was installed on 3 curved landscape roofs. The landscape roofs create additional open amenity space, insulate the building, cool the surrounding air and assist in harvesting rainwater for landscaping irrigation. The curving green roofs blend landscape and structure, nature and high-tech with an organic and vegetated form that distinguishes the building from among the other structures on campus.

Sembawang – Singapore

To provide a turfed fire truck access lane that meets the loading requirements of the local fire authority.

TurfPave XD was installed on a compacted sub-base to engineering specification, to create a grassed fire truck emergency access way. The stabilized pathway allowed a fully laden fire truck to drive across its entire length demonstrating its ability to meet load conformity specifications.

Walsh Bay – Sydney, Australia

To provide turf stabilization for a large recreational area in close proximity to Australia’s famous landmark, the Sydney Bridge.

TurfPave^® converts the entire area into a firm and stable permeable recreational area, able to withstand daily pedestrian traffic and visitors to the nearby landmark. TurfPave® ensures a healthy carpet of grass by preventing soil and grass root compaction.

As opposed to an impermeable surface which may be a contributing factor in UHIE, the turf covered area absorbs heat and glare, is aesthetically pleasing and assimilate unobtrusively into the park atmosphere. Its permeable surface is also an effective stormwater management solution.

The completed turf area can also permit access to emergency vehicles and fire engines when necessary.

Sydney Academy of Sports – Narrabeen NSW Australia

To provide a stabilized overflow parking turfed area able to withstand high vehicle usage during week-ends and sports competitions.

TurfPave positioned onto a mixture of compacted washed river sand and soil, infilled with sandy soil and planted with kikuyu turf rolls effectively stabilizes turf for overflow car parking. The large 4,500 m² stabilized area produces an aesthetically pleasing environment and allows rain and irrigation water to infiltrate, as opposed to run-off, associated with impermeable surfaces such as bitumen and concrete

Republic Polytechnic – Singapore

To provide turf stabilization along walkways capable of being subjected to high student traffic flow from the 12,000 strong student population of the Polytechnic.

TurfPave XD positioned onto compacted sand over a sub-soil drainage cell base layer and infilled with planting media provides a stable and firm substrate for turf establishment. The installed walkways are green and aesthetically pleasing and can withstand constant daily pedestrian traffic. Rainwater infiltrates into the compacted base below and discharged via the drainage cell layer as opposed to impermeable walkways that result in run-off and associated management problems.

Sydney Olympic Village – Sydney NSW. Australia

To provide turf stabilization for pedestrian walkways and service driveways at the Sydney Olympic Village.

TurfPave XD effectively stabilized turf on high use pedestrian walkways and service road areas. 15,000 athletes used the area as a meeting place during the duration of the 2000 Olympics. TurfPave continues to stabilize the area that is used as a recreational venue by local residents.

Airlie Beach, Whitsundays – Queensland, Australia

To provide a stabilized turfed boat access ramp able to withstand the weight of canoes, boats and vehicles in a high rainfall tropical environment.

TurfPave XD positioned onto a compacted gravel base, infilled with a sandy soil mix and planted with salt tolerant paspalum stabilizes boat access ramp areas allowing the effective delivery of boats to a high use recreational area.

Pasir Ris Park – Singapore

To provide slope stabilisation for plant media on green roofs at the Park.

Drainage and water retention trays were first installed blanketing the entire roof. This is followed by a layer of geotextile and then VersiWeb. The honeycombed cells of VersiWeb are used to contain and confine lightweight planting media on which drought tolerant plants are installed. VersiWeb uniformly distributes weight-bearing loads and prevents planting media and plants from being dislodged and sliding down the sloping roof.
