Green Roof And Desalination Plant Design

Victoria s new desalination project is covered with a living tapestry of indigenous plants that reflect the changing seasons and environment.

Green roof and desalination plant design.

Some green roofs are constructed specifically to support sports turf. The venny green roof has shallow substrates on two types of roof the first roof is on shipping containers and is designed for a dead load of 250kg m 2 and live load of 100kg m 2. Several other objectives were also considered in design of the green roof including ecological restoration of the area thermal performance of the building minimising the noise impacts from the desalination process plant and protection of the roof from the harmful effects of solar radiation. The second trussed roof is designed for a dead load of 160kg m 2 and a live load of 40kg m 2.

Green roof the green roof provides thermal and acoustic insulation for the plant the pumps are very noisy and disguises the larger buildings into the landscape particularly when viewed from the bass highway. From the road you can see it if you are turning off the east coast parkway ecp on to the marina coastal expressway mce. The victorian desalination project green roof is the largest in the southern hemisphere. It covers a number of buildings of the process plant ranging in pitch from 3 5 to 20 degrees.

Beneath the green roof are offices the control centre a water testing laboratory visitor facilities and amenities for staff. The 263 hectare site will become a re vegetated native parkland and the vegetation on the living roof reflects this commitment. The undulating slopes of the roof are designed to limit visibility of the industrial buildings from the surrounding public areas and link to the nearby coastal landscape.

There are also some educational signboards which provide information on the design of the building and how it is integrated with a sustainable stormwater management system. A new green roof at the keppel marina east desalination plant near tanjong rhu has opened to the public and giving marina barrage a run for its money. It is along the park connector network. These require irrigation and a substrate depth of at least 200 mm.
