Green Walls at 5-Star Luxury Hotel

Artyzen Singapore

Location

Artyzen Singapore

Specifications

To establish high-quality medium to massive-sized lush green walls by the Infinity Pool at Roof Garden (Sky Terrace), Penthouse Suite Sky Garden, Wellness & Workout Pavilion at Level 5, outside Bar & Restaurant at Level 4, and hotel lobby pick-up/drop off point.

Solution

VersiWall® GP (VGP) Trays were mounted on aluminium panels, establishing high-quality medium to massive-sized lush green walls. 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) 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) 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.

Bukit Canberra Integrated Hub - Green Spaces

Bukit Canberra Integrated Hub

Location

Bukit Canberra Integrated Hub, Singapore

Specifications

  1. Establish Fire Engine Accessway at Community Lawn
  2. Provide Drainage System Beneath Intensive and Extensive Green Roofs
  3. Establish Sustainable Stormwater Management System

Solution

Establish Fire Engine Accessway at Community Lawn (Image 1)
Emergency fire engine access areas were created on the community lawn using TurfPave® XD grass pavers installed beneath the ground. TurfPave® XD’s porous structure allows rainwater to infiltrate the ground, protecting the grass roots against compaction and effectively supporting loads imposed by large fire trucks and human traffic.

Provide Drainage System Beneath Intensive Green Roofs (Image 2 to 4)
VersiCell® lightweight, high strength modular drainage cells were installed beneath the planting soil at the butterfly garden on level 2 and therapeutic gardens on the roof terraces on level 3 to facilitate efficient drainage of excess water, preventing waterlogging. Additionally, drip irrigation systems were added to ensure the health of the vegetation.

Provide Drainage System Beneath Extensive Green Roofs (Image 5 to 12)
VersiCell® lightweight, high strength modular drainage cells were also installed beneath the top planting media on the building’s structure, pick-up/drop-off point shelter, and covered walkways to facilitate efficient drainage of excess water, preventing waterlogging. Additionally, drip irrigation systems were added to ensure the health of the vegetation.

Establish Sustainable Stormwater Management System (Image 13 to 16)
VersiTank® modular detention/retention tanks were assembled to construct ABC Waters design features, such as bioretention basins, earth drains and bioswales, that aid in sustainable stormwater management.
