Specifications

To provide green wall system to establish vertical greenery on front façade of car park

Solution

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

Specifications

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

Solution

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.

Treelodge@Punggol (HDB Multi Storey Car Park)

Location

305C Punggol Road, Singapore

Specifications

To provide root-resistant waterproofing membrane.

To provide the Landscape Roof system for intensive green roof installation on the rooftop of the multi-storey car park.

Solution

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.

Office of Estate and Development NUS

Location

8 Kent Ridge Drive, Singapore

Specifications

To provide the pedestal system for installation of raised concrete slab pavers on the rooftop of the building (VersiJack®)

 

To provide extensive green roof system to enable planting on the rooftop (VersiDrain® 25P)

Solution

VersiJack® pedestals were used to support concrete pavers on the rooftop garden to create a raised paver deck to form walkways around shallow planter boxes.

 

The VersiJack® pedestals allowed easy progressive height adjustments and slope correction. A constant gap between individual pavers to facilitate surface drainage was maintained by the use of Spacer Tabs while the pedestals’ integrated Locking Rings secured paver heights.

 

The raised paver platform allows water to drain quickly away and eliminates unsightly efflorescence forming on the paver surface. It also provides a convenient cavity that allows miscellaneous services to be hidden. Heat transference from the paver surface to the office space beneath the roof garden is also minimized. Efficient surface drainage also keeps the rooftop dry for safe enjoyment of the roof garden.

 

VersiDrain® 25P drainage and water retention trays were laid over the cement and sand screed protecting the waterproofing membrane in the planter boxes on the rooftop. A lightweight inorganic planting media spread on a geotextile filter fabric placed over the trays enabled the establishment of selected drought-tolerant plants.

 

Stored water in the tray reservoir, transferred via capillary action to the plant media, provides irrigation in dry spells. When required, easy supplementary irrigation is delivered by a network of irrigation tubes installed in the planter boxes.
