Aramsa Garden Spa – Bishan Park, Singapore

To facilitate planting on top of existing metal Corus Kalzip roof to provide an attractive green roof that will assimilate well into the natural ambience of the Park, serve as thermal insulation and also help to reduce noise transference during heavy rainfall.

To prevent plant media movement, aluminium battens were anchored onto the metal sloping roof and VersiCell drainage modules were placed between the metal ribs to provide an insulating barrier and a level surface for the subsequent installation of VersiDrain 25P drainage and water retention trays. A geotextile filter fabric was then positioned over the drainage and retention trays and EnviroMix GR lightweight inorganic planting media placed over the filter fabric. Locally sourced plant species selected for their hardiness, colour, height and ability to tolerate high tropical rainfall followed by hot and dry periods and requiring minimal maintenance were planted.

HortPark – Singapore

To provide a modular vertical greening system to enable planting of a wall specifically erected for demonstration and display of various green wall systems at the HortPark.

Steel anchoring pilasters were installed on the full face of the wall with careful attention to alignment. VGMs holding primarily soil-less lightweight planting media contained in a geotextile bag were pre-planted in a nursery environment. Front and rear metal support frames are added to the VGMs on site to provide reinforcement and facilitate anchorage onto the pilasters. A drip irrigation system delivers timed release of water and nutrients to the plants. VGMs can be individually dismounted from and re-mounted onto the pilasters to allow for easy maintenance or replacement if necessary.

Goodwood Residence Showflat – Singapore

To provide a modular vertical greening system to enable planting on both sides of a decorative free-standing wall at the entrance of the condominium.

A steel support frame was installed providing the centre skeleton and anchoring support. VGMs each containing a geotextile bag filled with specially mixed soil-less lightweight planting media and pre-planted in a nursery environment were mounted directly onto both sides of the centre anchoring support. Water and nutrients to sustain plant growth is supplied by a drip irrigation system.

Capella Hotel – Sentosa, Singapore

TO provide a modular vertical greening system to enable planting on 2 symmetrical walls of 250 m² each up to a height of 3 storeys.

VGMs, comprising a geotextile bag filled with lightweight planting media were pre-planted with Asplenium and various species of ferns in a nursery environment prior to installation. Encased in support frames on site, the VGMs were then mounted directly onto the slightly concave walls and a drip irrigation system installed to supply regular water and nutrients to the plants.

International Business Park – Singapore

To provide turf stabilization for the landscaped area along the side facade of the building.

TurfPave XD modules were installed over several long and narrow belts of intended landscaped area along the side of the building which had earlier been levelled and compacted with sand. The modules were assembled on site into long large panels using the integrated snap-on connectors ensuring that the installed modules remain in place. The modules were then covered over with soil followed by a thin layer of sand. Rolled panels of grass were then installed on top creating pleasing landscaped bands of green.

Formula One Grand Prix Pit Building – Singapore

To provide turf stabilization at the immediate surrounds and area fronting the Formula One Pit Building including areas where spectator stands are to be erected totalling approximately 21,000 m².

TurfPave XD modules were installed over the prepared grounds which was first excavated, levelled and compacted with sand. The modules have high compressive strength and snap-on connections allow large panels to be assembled on site ensuring that the modules remain in place. Flexible connecting grids allow modules to follow the contours of uneven surfaces. TurfPave XD cells have 80% unrestricted root base area and top and bottom notches which allow unrestricted runner and root growth. The modules were covered over with soil and then with a thin sand layer and further compacted with a mechanised roller. The spectator stands were then erected over the firm and level ground.

Private Residence at Merryn Road – Singapore

To provide both bearer and paver support beside the swimming pool.

VersiJack pedestals with bearer holders and spacer tabs were installed to support bearers and pavers respectively beside the swimming pool. The resultant paved area is a combination of wooden decking and pavers which creates a pleasant and attractive pool deck area. The raised pavers and decking hides services, facilitates efficient drainage of water from the surface and eliminates the possibility of efflorescence forming on the pavers.

One Newton – Singapore

To provide pedestal support for paver installation at pool surrounds.

VersiJack pedestals with spacer tabs attached were positioned at both ends of the swimming pool deck. Pavers were then installed using the spacer tabs for even spacing between pavers. The raised pool deck created serves to hide services, facilitates efficient surface drainage and eliminates efflorescence.

ION Orchard – Singapore

To provide bearer support for installation of raised wooden decking to conceal the many services required by a café outlet.

VersiJack pedestals extended with 4 proprietary extenders were installed to support bearers using bearer holders for the installation of a raised wooden deck along the side corridor walkway of the building hiding large pipes and other services required by the cafe. The corridor walkway being exposed and subject to rain in a downpour the raised platform also minimises inconvenience to the cafe by facilitating quick drainage and discharge of rainwater.

International Business Park – Singapore

To provide both bearer and paver support for landscaped roof garden.

VersiJack pedestals extended to the appropriate height with proprietary extenders were installed to support granite pavers around the landscape planter boxes and to support bearers for the installation of a wooden deck along the main corridor of the roof garden. Spacer tabs were used for accurate alignment of the pavers and wooden bearers used to secure bearer holders for installation of the decking. Integrated locking rings and slope correctors in the pedestals were used to lock down the desired height of each pedestal and make adjustments for fall in the floor slab respectively. The entire trafficable area of the roof garden is raised eliminating the formation of efflorescence and algae on the pavers, facilitating quick drainage after a downpour and limiting sound and heat transfer to the floor below.
