Specifications

To provide pedestal support for granite pavers around the central atrium of the Lotus-inspired Museum and provide a viewing platform for patrons.

Solution

VersiJack® pedestals support granite pavers to a height of more than 600mm, bringing the paver surface level with the lotus pond forming the surrounding moat. The pedestals are easy to install and are height and slope adjustable to achieve a firm and level paver surface. Unsightly services are hidden beneath the raised pavers but are readily accessible for maintenance when required. The paver deck also provides the capillary break necessary to eliminate efflorescence. Spacer tabs maintain a uniform gap between pavers that allow water to freely drain away and the pavers to dry out quickly.

 

The paved deck forms a grand viewing area around the central atrium where patrons are able to enjoy from all angles, the lotus pond and the corresponding picturesque backdrop.

Universal Studios Singapore, Resorts World Sentosa

Location

Resorts World Sentosa , Singapore

Specifications

To provide the Green Roof system to facilitate planting on both regular low-slope reinforced concrete flat roofs and also large expanse of sloped Corus Kalzip profiled metal roofs in the park totalling 35,000 sq m.

Solution

Elmich Green Roof was chosen because the wide structural spans of the immense roofs to be greened, one of Asia’s largest, and fast track construction of the park demanded that the system selected must be light and easy to install.

 

Elmich Green Roof comprises a VersiDrain® 25P water retention and drainage layer, a geotextile filter layer and EnviroMix® GR, a primarily inorganic soil-less lightweight planting media and drought-tolerant plant species that require little or no maintenance.

 

For the metal roofs, VersiCell® structural drainage/insulation cells were used to fill the space between the metal ridges to create a flat level surface on which a separation sheet and geotextile filter fabric were installed. VersiDrain® 25P drainage and water retention trays were then installed on top and a filter fabric positioned over the trays enabling 100mm of EnviroMix® GR to be spread over the trays for the planting of selected drought-tolerant plants.

 

VersiDrain® 25P facilitates efficient drainage on the green roof. Water and nutrients stored in the cell network of the trays is returned, via capillary action, to the planting media during dry spells, sustaining healthy plants with minimal maintenance. An automated irrigation system was incorporated on the roofs for use during the initial plant establishment and also to deliver regular supply of water and nutrients to the plants.

 

 

Waterproofing for the concrete roofs is provided by a fully adhered layer of Evalon PVC/EVA terpolymer membrane, a root-resistant waterproofing membrane, also supplied by Elmich.

Hilton Convention Centre, Melbourne

Location

Hilton Convention Centre, South Bank Melbourne

Specifications

To provide a secure decking support system and to reduce the structural weight on large outdoor terrace areas.

Solution

Supplied by Ken Hitchcock Designs and installed by 2 Construct, VersiJack eliminated the use of heavy masonry block work supports thereby substantially reducing the weight bearing load on the building structure. Another major advantage of VersiJack is that during the installation process, the membrane is not penetrated in any way. This reduces the long-term likelihood of hard-to-fix leaks occurring, which are traditionally very costly and difficult to access.

VersiJack is infinitely adjustable from 75-1000mm and incorporates a bearer support that accommodates even warped 40-80mm wide bearers.
