2 Simei Street 3, Singapore

To provide the system to establish a free-standing two-sided green wall beside the reception counters at the foyer of the hospital.

Vertical Greening Modules (VGMs) each contain a geotextile bag filled with EnviroMix® GW, a primarily inorganic soil-less lightweight planting media. To allow selected green wall plants to be orientated vertically and ensure firm establishment, the modules were pre-planted 6 to 8 weeks prior to installation.

VGM® modules were bolted to a free-standing metal framework which enabled pairs of adjacent vertical rows of VGM® modules to swing inwards or outwards like windows. This allows easy maintenance access to the VGM® modules mounted on both sides of the “window” frames. VGM® modules were deliberately spaced to form a non-monotonous pattern and existing natural light is supplemented by LED grow lights to ensure healthy plant growth.

The living wall is angled and position to form a sun screen at the naturally ventilated open foyer which houses the hospital’s reception.

1 Hospital Drive, Singapore

To provide the system to establish a 25 sq m free-standing green wall against the exterior wall of the Pharmacy between Blocks 4 and 5 of the Singapore General Hospital (SGH)

Anchoring pilasters of the VGM Green Wall system were bolted to free-standing metal pillars erected along 12 m of the wall of the Pharmacy fronting the courtyard. 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 2 months prior to installation. The pre-planting ensures firm establishment and also allows the selected plants to be orientated vertically.
The completed installation creates five 2.5 m high green wall panels running along the façade of the Pharmacy. The living wall provides a visually appealing, therapeutic and healing environment at the Courtyard enjoyed by recuperating patients and their visitors and also the hospital staff.
The mural of living plants acts as a sun screen that helps to lower ambient temperature at the Courtyard and also render the interior space of the Pharmacy comfortably cooler. In addition to achieving the design objectives to provide a cool and “green” retreat within the hospital grounds, the living wall also plays a part in environmental sustainability.

Create Way, Singapore

To provide the Landscape Roof system beneath planter boxes on the rooftops of the building. 

1100 sq m of VersiCell sub-surface drainage modules were installed at the base of large 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 was placed over the VersiCell modules before a 100mm sand layer was spread on top followed by the media for planting. The efficient discharge of excess water provided by the VersiCell drainage layer prevents the green roof planter boxes from getting waterlogged and ponding after downpours, supporting and ensuring healthy plant growth.
In addition to enabling environmental benefits associated with green roofs to be harnessed, the attractive rooftop greenery, is also enjoyed by occupants of the neighbouring buildings within University Town (Utown), and have played a part in the building being awarded BCA Green Mark Platinum which had in turn, helped the National University of Singapore, of which Utown is a part, to receive the coveted Green Mark Champion Award.
CREATE is an international research campus and innovation hub housing some 1,200 researchers within UTown and is home to a vibrant research community, including the National Research Foundation, interdisciplinary research centres from top universities and corporate laboratories.

Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Singapore

To provide the tray planting system for two temporary green walls, one on each side of the ceremonial stage of the Eco-products International Fair (EPIF) 2013 held at Sands Expo & Convention Centre.

VGP Tray Planter components, including its Baffle Plate and Reservoir Cover, were assembled with ease on site the day prior to the opening of the exhibition. The selected plants were delivered to the site and planted in-situ. The planted trays were then simply hung onto mounting panels attached to wooden-block stands designed to accommodate the green walls on each side of the stage.

Green Wall

Elmich VGM^® Green Wall system was used to establish 35 m living walls on eight campus blocks. The system comprises Vertical Greening Modules (VGM^®) containing a geotextile bag filled with EnviroMix^®GW (a primarily inorganic lightweight planting media) anchored onto stainless steel pilasters. An automated irrigation system delivers water and nutrients directly to plant roots to ensure healthy plant growth.

The green walls together totalling 5,300 sq m is the largest vertical greenery installation at a single development in the world.

Elmich VGM^® Green Wall system is a highly engineered architectural living wall system utilising UV-stabilised plastic modules and stainless steel support brackets and pilasters that enable easy mounting and dismounting of VGMs during installation and maintenance. The system is certified to withstand wind uplift from various directions at 110km/h with no noticeable damage. Extremely versatile, the VGM modules were also easily adapted to accommodate the demanding design requirements of the project.

Extensive Green Roof

Elmich Extensive Green Roof system greened 2,400 sq m of rooftop space atop three campus blocks. VersiDrain^®25P drainage and water retention trays were placed directly over the waterproofing layer on the rooftop and a geotextile filter layer was laid over the trays to allow lightweight planting media to be placed on top of the trays. Pearl Grass was selected for its heat tolerance and low maintenance. An automated pop-up sprinkler irrigation system was installed to ensure that a rich jade-green is sustained on the rooftops.

Slope Stabilisation

Eight pyramid gardens were erected in the atrium using VersiWeb^®. The web panels were secured onto the eight structures using rebar anchors cast in the concrete. The cells were filled with planting media and a plastic mesh used to blanket the web to prevent media spillage. An automated irrigation system was installed to provide water and nutrients directly to the roots of the plants, whilst perforations in the VersiWeb^® cell walls allow the water to infiltrate from one cell to another, providing drainage and avoiding hydrostatic pressure buildup.

7007 Friars Road, San Diego, CA 92108, United States

To provide the green wall system to enable the installation of a living wall at the Fashion Valley Mall in Mission Valley in San Diego, California, United States.

250 VGM^® modules planted with over 4000 plants, pre-planted before installation in a nursery environment to allow firm establishment and vertical orientation, were used in the 75 sq m living wall. The VGM modules were mounted onto stainless steel pilasters secured to metal unistrut frame attached to the building. Besides allowing easy mounting and replacement of modules, when necessary, the versatile VGM^® modular system also allowed modules to be arranged to create the attractive design patterns on the living wall.
Because pre-planting of the VGM^® modules had allowed the plants to grow in so well, the plants already cover most of the pilaster and module sections immediately after the initial installation, creating an almost instant living wall.
The Elmich VGM^® Green Wall is delighting shoppers and visitors to the Fashion Valley Mall, joining several other outstanding VGM Green Walls recently installed through Tournesol Siteworks, Elmich’s distributor in the U.S., including the Amazon HQ (in Seattle) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (in Texas).
The Fashion Valley Mall is an upscale mall in Mission Valley in San Diego, California, featuring San Diego’s finest collection of stores in a beautiful outdoor shopping center. The shopping center is the largest mall in San Diego and one of the largest in California.
Well pleased with the living wall, Simon Properties (the owners of the Mall) are said to be exploring opportunities to feature the VGM Green Wall at their other facilities.

Temasek Polytechnic is the third polytechnic to be set up in Singapore. It has a 30 hectare campus and more than 1,200 academic and administrative staff catering to approximately 15,000 full-time students. Reputed for its academic programmes, applied research, managerial excellence and innovative corporate culture, the Polytechnic prepares school-leavers and working adults for a future of dynamic change, with relevant knowledge, life-long skills, character, and a thirst for continuous improvement.
Besides the many environmental benefits, the 3480 sq m green roof and the 640 sq m of living walls on the façade of the new building complement each other and embody the spirit of continuous effort by the Polytechnic to be eco-friendly and sustainable. They also serve as reminders to the Polytechnic’s student population a need to be sensitive of their environment and encourage its protection and preservation.

Helping to fulfill the Polytechnic’s pledge to “bring education to life and life to education“, the aesthetically pleasing and refreshing “green” rooftop and façade walls also provide a cooler and more conducive learning environment.

VersiCell^® drainage cells were placed between the raised ridges of the metal corrugated roof to provide a level surface for VersiDrain 25P^® drainage and water retention trays of the Elmich Green Roof system to be installed. Thereafter, a geotextile filter layer over the trays allowed EnviroMix^®, a primarily inorganic planting media, to be placed on top for planting of selected drought-tolerant plants. An automated irrigation system will deliver water and nutrients at pre-determined times and durations to the green roof.

Elmich VGM^® Green Wall system allows modules to be pre-planted in a controlled nursery environment for the selected green wall plants to be established and vertically orientated before installation on site, facilitating the creation of almost instant living walls. The versatile VGM^® modular system, which also includes a stainless steel mounting system, allows attractive intricate patterns to be incorporated in the design of the living wall. Regular irrigation and supply of nutrients, for selected durations at pre-determined times, is delivered by an automated irrigation system.
