Bearers were secured with self-tapping screws to Bearer Holders on the pedestals to ensure that they do not shift and remained firmly in place during and after installation of the wooden decking. Where installation surface was sloped to fall for drainage, Slope Correctors were used to allow adjustments of up to 5% to maintain a level decking surface.
Essential services were hidden beneath the raised decking whilst gaps maintained between individual panels of the decking allowed surface water to drain away, both features combined provide safe enjoyment of the verdant area and water features at the courtyard.

 

VersiCell®
VersiCell® sub-surface drainage modules were used to line the base as well as the sides of planter boxes. A geotextile filter fabric was installed over the modules before 100mm layer of sand followed by the media for planting were put in to enable planting of plants ranging from ground cover plants and shrubs to trees. The drainage modules prevent waterlogging and ponding in the planter boxes and help to maintain robust healthy plant growth at the landscaped courtyard.

Orchard Gateway

Location

218 Orchard Road, Singapore

Specifications

To provide pedestal system for installation of decking at E-Deck and sky terraces and installation of pavers over a water feature.
To provide sub-surface drainage system in planter boxes for Intensive Green Roof application.
To provide root-resistant waterproofing in planter boxes.

Solution

VersiJack®
Over 10,000 VersiJack® pedestals support the bearers beneath wooden panels for the installation of extensive wooden decked areas at the 10th and 19th levels of the building. Slope Correctors were used to allow adjustments up to 5% to ensure that a level paver and decking surface is maintained throughout. The void under the raised decked areas allow essential services to be unobtrusively hidden and assist surface water to drain quickly away whilst at the same time reduce heat transfer from the decked surfaces to the roof.
VersiJack® pedestals also support pavers for the installation of a water feature at the Sommerset entrance to the premises. The gaps, created by using Spacer Tabs on the pedestals, between the pavers facilitate drainage of water from the pavers back into the water feature.

 

VersiCell®
VersiCell® sub-surface drainage modules totalling more than 1,000 sq m were installed directly over the Evalon® waterproofing membrane in the planter boxes of the E-Deck and sky terraces. They provide a void beneath planting media to enable expeditious transport of excess water to drainage outlets and prevent waterlogging. A non-woven geotextile filter fabric placed over the VersiCell® allowed a 100mm sand layer to be spread on top followed by the soil media for planting.
In the densely built environment of Orchard Road, the over 1,000 sq m of skyrise greenery form a living barrier that helps to shield and reduce heat absorption by the building. This lowers temperature within the building as well as the ambient temperature of the building’s immediate surroundings. In addition to subsequently reducing energy consumption for air-conditioning and helping to mitigate negative impact brought about by the heat island phenomenon, the skyrise greenery also performs a vital urban stormwater management role.

 

Evalon®
Waterproofing protection in the planter boxes was provided by nearly 6,000 sq m of a root-resistant fully adhered layer of Evalon® V PVC/EVA terpolymer membrane ideally suited for intensive and extensive green roof application.

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.

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.
