Stevens Road, Singapore

To provide the green wall system to for the establishment of a green wall on one block and a red wall on the entrance wall of the bungalow.

VersiWall^® GP (VGP) proprietary mounting panels were first mounted onto the 5 metre high wall of the bungalow. Subsequently, 744 VGP trays were easily installed onto the mounting panels according to the pre-determined design creating a green wall totalling 27 sq m. Inadvertent dislodgment of the VGP trays by inclement weather is prevented by the insertion of anti-lift arms into the hooks of the trays, effectively locking the trays to the mounting panel. An automated irrigation system is incorporated to deliver irrigation and nutrients to the plants in the individual trays on the wall at programmed intervals for pre-set durations with the aid of a control panel.

Similarly, the 2.6 sq m red wall was established using the Elmich VGP system comprising of the mounting panels and trays.

1 St. Andrew’s Rd Singapore 178957

To provide the green wall system for two sites within the Gallery namely Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Gallery and Supreme Court Terrace.

Stainless steel pilasters were bolted directly to the wall to enable VersiWall^® GM (VGM), each containing a geotextile bag filled with EnviroMix® GW, a primarily inorganic soil-less lightweight planting media to be anchored. Pre-planting of the VGMs in a controlled nursery environment prior to installation ensured that the selected plants were firmly established and orientated vertically. An automated irrigation system installed supplies water and nutrients at specific times to the green wall.

The entire project utilised a total of approximately 1,300 modules establishing 460 square metres of vertical greenery.

Children’s Garden at the Gardens By The Bay, Singapore

To provide an ultra-lightweight green roof system to establish green roof on existing rooftops.

VersiDrain® 25P water retention and drainage trays were placed directly over the RC rooftops, ensuring that individual trays overlap by at least one cell row.  A geotextile filter fabric was next laid to completely blanket the trays. Geotextile perimeter upturn of about 15cm is glued to the side walls.

EnviroMix PB, a growing media in the form of a lightweight planting board with high water absorbency and retention properties were next installed. Arranged in rows over the geotextile one abutting against the other without the need to affix, the planting board is extremely easy to install. They are also easily cut to fit into or around irregular areas on the roof.

Minimal regular loose media material is required. Only 50mm of appropriate soil mix (depending on plant species selected) was spread over the planting boards for in-situ planting of selected drought-tolerant plants to establish the green roofs on three rooftops at the Children’s Garden.  For planting of turf/grass, no additional loose media is required over the planting boards making installation much cleaner. Pearl grass was effectively used to create maintenance paths on the green roofs.

Vital nutrients incorporated into the board during its manufacture help support initial plant establishment whilst its high water absorbency and retention properties help to reduce irrigation frequency.  In prolonged dry spells the addition of an appropriate irrigation system helps to maintain and sustain the green roofs.

More than just helping the rooftops to aesthetically blend with the lush greenery of the gardens, the extensive green roofs complement existing solar panels on an adjacent rooftop to support environmental sustainability.  By providing an insulation barrier against the elements on the rooftops, the green roofs also offer protection for the waterproofing as well as reduce heat absorption.

Using Enviromix^® NF, a nutrient-infused layer provided the living art feature wall with excellent water retention capacity, stable root penetration of plants and nutrients for healthy plant growth.

Installation was a breeze with the panel’s sleek and flexible profile allowing for modifications on-site. Hence, reducing time-consuming delays and material wastage.

Ang Mo Kio Ave 3, Singapore

To provide an extensive roof system to enable the establishment of an extensive green roof on the roof of the extension project of the French school of Singapore.

VersiDrain^® 25P drainage and water retention trays were installed directly over the waterproofing membrane. Geotextile filter fabric was then laid over the VersiDrain^® 25P trays and a planting media was spread on top for in-situ planting of selected plant species. Water retained by the water reservoirs of the trays during wet periods is returned to the planting media by capillary action during dry spells and drawn upon by the plants to sustain vigorous and healthy growth.

Sydney, Australia

To provide the Green Roof System to enable planting on the roof of the house

The green roof system was placed on a structural concrete rooftop slab. VersiDrain® 25P, drainage and water retention trays, were installed on the roof and covered over with a geotextile fabric to enable a lightweight, nutrient rich formulated soil medium (by Code Green) with a maximum of 2.5 inch thick to be installed on the trays. The plants were propagated off site prior to the commencement of the construction allowing the plants to grow during this period. Various grasses, Sedums, Delospermas, and other succulents were hand planted on the roof, which is un-irrigated.

698 West Coast Road, Singapore

To provide green wall system for installation of two green walls

VGP Mounting Panels were installed onto two walls to facilitate mounting of VGP Trays, from floor to ceiling, two-storey high, at the main entrance hallway of the school and on a lower wall fronting the school’s assembly area. The mounting panel at the bottom right was installed first followed by the other panels of the bottommost row systematically from right to left. Subsequent panel rows follow above in the same sequential order. An automated irrigation system, consisting of a network of tubing and a control panel, was installed to supply irrigation to the individual trays at programmed intervals for pre-set durations.
VGP Trays were planted in-situ with selected pre-grown plants and hung 12 trays to a panel to create a dense and lush wall of plants instantly. Anti-lift arms were inserted into individual trays to prevent inadvertent dislodgment of the VGP Trays from their mounting points. The drainage outlets of the bottommost row of trays were connected to a horizontal base tube to allow excess water to be discharged without wetting the immediate area beneath the green walls.
The lush eye-pleasing green walls become instant living educational tools. They enable students of the school to learn that, for a very small ground level footprint, green walls are able to provide many benefits. They contribute to environmental sustainability, enhance aesthetics, improve health and wellbeing by providing a source of stress relief and escape from the demands of urban living. In the specific context of the school, these green walls offer an environment conducive to learning.

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

To provide the green wall system to establish vertical greenery
To provide the green roof system to establish greenery on sloping roof
To provide pedestal support for installation of pavers

VersiWall® GM
Twelve free-standing metal framework structures were erected for pilasters to be secured for VGM modules to be anchored such that vertical greenery is possible all around the framework. Pre-planting of the VGM Modules in a nursery environment allowed selected plants to establish and be appropriately orientated prior to installation, creating lush green walls almost instantly at the hospital project at time of installation.</p>
Both the pitch roof and its retaining wall at the edge were also greened with the VGM system. Anchoring pilasters were installed directly onto the pitch roof and the wall for pre-planted VGM Modules to securely anchor. The completed installation turned the pitch roof and wall from what would have been bare, ordinary and unattractive building features into eye-pleasing and therapeutic green roofs and vertical gardens.
A total of 1630 VGM modules were used for this construction.
The skyrise greenery reflects contemporary research that highlights the significant influence greenery and nature in the built environment has on health and wellbeing, especially beneficial in the setting of the children’s hospital.

VersiJack
11,000 VersiJack pedestals were installed to support expansive raised paver areas in the hospital grounds. Spacer Tabs and Slope Correctors used on the pedestals enabled consistent gaps between pavers to be maintained and allowed compensation for any slope to fall for drainage on the installation surfaces respectively.
Height extensions and minor adjustments were easily achieved by adding extenders and by screw adjustment of the pedestals, and desired heights locked down with the pedestals’ integrated locking rings. The void created beneath the paver platforms allowed miscellaneous services to be hidden.

The vertical greenery, sloping green roof and raised paver areas of the hospital form a protective and insulating shield that helps to cool the hospital building. Not only eye-pleasing, the vertical and rooftop greenery help to reduce the carbon footprint of the hospital, assist in at-source stormwater management, mitigate urban heat island effect, whilst at the same time also creating a therapeutic green and healing green environment for the patients and staff of the hospital and visitors to enjoy.
