To provide turf stabilization along fire engine access
To provide sub-surface drainage in planter boxes and beneath TurfPave along fire engine access

TurfPave®
TurfPave® XD is positioned onto compacted sand over a geotextile filter blanketing a sub-soil drainage base layer provided by VersiCell® placed directly over the constructed RC path. Infilled with a sandy soil mix the grass paver provides a firm substrate for turf establishment. The access ways created are green and aesthetically pleasing and provide a stable path for heavy fire engines and other emergency vehicles when needed. Rainwater infiltrates into the compacted base and is discharged via the drainage cell layer below, reducing excessive run-off and stormwater management problems which impermeable roads may pose.
VersiCell®
VersiCell® sub-surface drainage modules installed in planter boxes provide a void beneath the planting media to enable expeditious transport of excess water to drainage outlets for prevention of waterlogging. A non-woven geotextile filter fabric placed over the drainage modules allowed a 100mm sand layer to be spread on top followed by the soil media for plants from shrubs to small trees to be planted, and effectively turn the grounds of the condominium into landscaped gardens.

Turf Stabilisation
TurfPave® XD grass pavers were positioned onto a compacted sand base layer over the compacted substrate of the access way. Infilled with a sandy soil mix, TurfPave® XD whilst providing a stable and firm substrate for turf establishment also creates the mandated access way with ability to bear high compressive loads necessary for passage of fire engines and other emergency vehicles.
The TurfPave access pathway remains green and aesthetically pleasing and is able to withstand constant daily pedestrian traffic. TurfPave does not retain water and thus allows rainwater to infiltrate into the compacted sand base beneath and then slowly into the substrate throughout the length of the green passageway.
An impermeable asphalt road, if installed instead, would repel rather than temporarily retained the rainwater in the substrate and therefore subsequently contribute to excessive run-off and associated stormwater management problems.

Landscape Roof / Sub-surface drainage
VersiCell® sub-surface drainage modules were installed in planter boxes to provide a void beneath the planting media to enable expeditious transport of excess water to drainage outlets. A non-woven geotextile filter fabric placed over the drainage modules allowed a 100mm sand layer to be spread on top followed by the soil media. The resultant lush landscaped grounds, planted with plants from shrubs to small trees, are well-drained and have minimal water-logging problems.

Green Wall
VersiWall® GM (VGM®) vertically greens the retaining wall facing the lift shaft of a glass-walled elevator positioned to convey residents from the underground car park to surface level. VGM® Modules were pre-planted, 6 to 8 weeks prior to installation, with plants selected for ability to thrive in the narrow space in front of the lift shaft which is subject to strong light exposure at the top of the wall and subdued light at the bottom.

Nanjing, People’s Republic of China

To provide system to establish a 1200 sq m green wall along retaining wall

VersiWall® GM (VGM®) modules each contain a geotextile bag filled with a primarily inorganic soil-less lightweight planting media. Pre-planting of the modules 6 to 8 weeks prior to installation in a controlled nursery environment enabled selected green wall plants to be firmly established and orientated vertically. Pilaster mounting rails were bolted directly to the retaining wall to facilitate firm and secure anchorage of the VGM® modules to the wall. Attractive flowing living patterns were created by using the various shades of green, red and orange from the plant palette provided by the selected green wall plants. The otherwise featureless high wall is transformed into a majestic eye-pleasing living wall. The green wall extends a green welcome to commuters, athletes and visitors from around the globe arriving for the Summer Youth Olympic Games 2014 in Nanjing, People’s Republic of China the host city of the Games.

VersiWall GM (VGM) modules, each containing a geotextile bag filled with EnviroMix® GW, a primarily inorganic soil-less lightweight planting media, were pre-planted with selected green wall plants. Pre-planting of the VGM modules in a controlled nursery environment allows the plants to be firmly established and vertically orientated before installation. Stainless steel pilasters were bolted to the concrete wall to enable firm anchorage of the VGM modules to the wall.
The living wall occupies the entire front façade wall of the car park which encompasses also the wall immediately above the entrance to the car park. Framed with lush plants the façade of the car park serves as a source of therapeutic stress relief as well as a refreshing cheerful living banner to welcome residents and their visitors as they return home or enter the condominium.

134 Nguyen Thai Hoc, Pham Ngu Lao Ward, District 1, Vietnam

To provide system to install green walls at façade and interior walls of restaurant premises.

Welded wire mesh was used to provide the mounting framework to anchor VersiWall GP (VGP) 2060 trays. Horizontal members of the wire mesh spaced 75mm apart allowed each tray to firmly anchor at 6 points. The VGP 2060 trays were planted in-situ with a selection of pre-grown plants to provide a plant palette with multiple shades of green and attractive colours to create the instantly eye-pleasing and lush green walls
The planted VGP 2060 trays hung in dense formation form bold vertical and or horizontal bands of living colour according to predetermined designs. Anti-lift arms inserted into the individual trays effectively prevent inadvertent dislodgment of the VGP trays from their mounts especially essential in the public and very accessible environment of the restaurant.
With the top half of its front façade cloaked in green, the restaurant commands an overwhelming presence and is not easily missed. The numerous other VGP living walls within the restaurant complete the picture, exuding an air of cozy warmth and creating an inviting ambience to set the mood for an enjoyable meal.

Jalan Munshi Abdullah, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

To provide modular green wall system to install a green wall to form a shielding barrier around services at the condominium cum shopping mall.

Pre-planted Vertical Greening Modules (VGM®) were mounted on stainless steel pilasters bolted to a metal framework erected around the services. The living wall installed using the Elmich VGM Green Wall system surrounds the services effectively keeping them from public view and also reducing noise transference. From the road that runs alongside the development only an attractive green wall is visible.
Each VGM® contains a geotextile bag filled with a primarily inorganic lightweight planting media. The modular green wall system enables easy mounting and dismounting of VGMs during installation and maintenance. Anti-lift arms were inserted in between modules to prevent accidental dislodgement of VGMs from the wall. An automated irrigation system delivers water and nutrients directly to plant roots at pre-determined intervals to ensure healthy plant growth.

17-21D Simei Street 4, Singapore

To provide green wall system to establish vertical greenery on the clubhouse façade, including the convex wall face of the 2nd level, and also a free-standing wall at the main entrance to the condominium.

Vertical Greening Modules (VGM), each containing a geotextile bag filled with EnviroMix® GW, a primarily inorganic soil-less lightweight planting media, were pre-planted in a controlled nursery environment.

Evalon
Waterproofing protection for the roof skin beneath the green roof was provided by a root-resistant fully adhered layer of Evalon PVC/EVA terpolymer membrane, suited for intensive green roof applications.

Elmich Landscape Roof
6,000 sq m of VersiCell® drainage modules were installed beneath the geotextile filter fabric layer and the planting soil above. The drainage cavity created enables rapid transport of excess water to drainage points on the roof, preventing waterlogging at the planted roof decks, green balconies and planter boxes of the E-deck. Laid directly on the waterproofing membrane, the modules also provide a protection layer that prolongs the serviceable life of the membrane.
The landscape roof mitigates urban heat island effect by sheltering the car park roof from the sun, reducing surrounding ambient temperature and transference of heat to the car park below. Installed with large shady trees and resembling a garden park, the living roof provides additional amenity space. The landscape roof also played a pivotal part in the precinct clinching Singapore’s first Green Mark Platinum Award Public Housing Project.
