Merrill Lynch Harbourfront – Singapore


Specifications

To provide paver support and conceal services in a large reflective pool feature.

Solution

VersiJack pedestals with height raised with 2 extenders were positioned in the entire pool area. Height adjustments and compensation for fall in the floor slab were easily carried out with the aid of specific integrated features in each pedestal. Minor detail height adjustments were made by placing rubber shims between pedestal top and paver. Pipes and services were effectively concealed below the raised pavers installed beneath water level. The unbroken mirror images in the water of colourful glass sculptures lit only by natural light from the glass ceiling above create an attractive reflective pool.

Bugis+, Singapore

Specifications

To provide efficient drainage and void filler in deep planter boxes.

Solution

A geotextile filter fabric layer was then installed over the tanks and planting media placed in the planter boxes above the geotextile. VersiTank acts as a drainage cell with large internal void as well as a void filler to reduce the volume of planting media required to fill the deep planter boxes. VersiTank has high compressive strength and is able to resist the combine weight of the planting media and the large trees installed in the planter boxes.

Ewart Park Private Residence

Location

Ewart Park – Singapore

Specifications

To provide tank facility for collecting and retaining stormwater for re-use.

Solution

A pit was excavated large enough to accommodate the calculated number of VersiTank to be installed. The base of the pit was compacted and levelled with a layer of coarse sand and a liner installed forming an impermeable tank within which assembled VersiTank units were positioned. Piping for inlet, outlet and overflow points were installed. Thereafter the installed VersiTank units were enveloped with a permeable geotextile fabric and covered with coarse sand and topped with planting soil. Planting on top makes the stormwater collection tank completely invisible and high compressive strength allows the space on top to be trafficable so that surface garden space is not compromised.
