Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza, Singapore

To provide a drainage layer for event space to prevent ponding during heavy rainfall.

To provide community green benches for sitting.

VersiCell^® was used to create a flooring platform for the Archifest 2018 Event Pavilion at Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza. A total of 1000 pieces of VersiCell were used to create a 250m² area, after which a layer of sustainable material made of bamboo charcoal was laid over as the finishing.

To create the community green benches, 9 VersiTank^® 553 modules were joined together in a 3 by 3 configuration. VersiDrain^® 60 was affixed to the top of the modules and filled with carpet grass to create a comfortable and natural bench for Archifest visitors to rest on. The open nature of the event space meant that our community green benches were exposed to rain. The drainage capabilities of the VersiDrain® 60 allow the turf to stay dry and functional for sitting.

A total of 9 sets of community green benches were created and installed around the event area.

Biopolis, Singapore

To provide the pedestal system to support bearers for installation of wooden decking at landscaped courtyard.
To provide sub-surface drainage cells for drainage in planter boxes.

VersiJack®
VersiJack® pedestals were used to support bearers for installation of three raised wooden decked areas that complement water features at the landscaped courtyard of the building.
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.

218 Orchard Road, Singapore

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.

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.

BELYSA

To provide turf stabilisation along fire engine access way
To provide sub-surface drainage in planter boxes
To provide water retention and drainage on extensive green roof

Turf Stabilisation
TurfPave® XD positioned onto compacted sand laid over the compacted substrate of the path created to provide fire engine access way. Infilled with a sandy soil mix TurfPave® XD provides a stable and firm substrate for turf establishment along the access way. When not in use as an access way for fire-fighting operations or emergency purposes, the access pathway remains green and aesthetically pleasing and can withstand constant daily pedestrian traffic.
Rainwater readily infiltrates into the compacted sand base below and then slowly into the substrate before eventual discharge into the local drainage system. An impermeable access way, like an asphalt road on the other hand, will not allow run-off to infiltrate and thus contribute to run-off volumes and stormwater management problems.

Landscape Roof / Sub-surface Drainage
VersiCell® sub-surface drainage modules were installed to line the interior of planter boxes, at the base and also the sides, to provide a void beneath planting media to enable expeditious transport of excess water to drainage outlets to prevent waterlogging. A non-woven geotextile filter fabric over the drainage modules form a filter separation layer that allowed a 100mm sand layer to be spread on top followed by the soil media. Plants from shrubs to trees create the lush landscaped gardens amidst abundant water features.

Extensive Green Roof
VersiDrain® 25P drainage and water retention trays were positioned on the RC rooftops of the clubhouse and two other buildings. A geotextile filter fabric laid over the trays enabled EnviroMix®, a primarily inorganic planting media, to be placed for planting of selected drought-tolerant plants that drape over the sides to form attractive skirts around the rooftops.

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.

To provide green wall system for installation of green wall

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.
