A PEDESTAL ABOVE THE REST

Days Hotel located beside the culturally inspired Zhongshan Park at Balestier Road in Singapore is aptly dubbed ‘hotel-by-the-park’. Managed by the Wyndham Hotel Group, the largest and most diverse hotel company in the world, the newly opened Hotel caters to both value-conscious business as well as leisure travellers.

Elmich was involved in the project, supplying their VersiJack Paver and Beam support. The VersiJack height adjustable pedestals support the heavy stone pavers measuring 600mm x 600mm x 50mm at the hotel’s E-Deck and also support metal bearers in the installation of composite wooden decking at the perimeter corridors and ground level pathways of the hotel.

Where the raised paver and decking installation areas were sloped to fall for drainage, Slope Correctors were used on the pedestals to allow adjustments of up to 5% to maintain a level paver or decking surface.

Spacer Tabs used on the pedestals tops enabled consistent gaps to be maintained between pavers for efficient surface drainage. Surface water drains away through these gaps between pavers or the gaps between individual members of the decking panels allowing these areas to dry out fast.

From the clean and attractive raised paver and wooden decked areas hotel guests and visitors can safely enjoy the hotel’s facilities and also appreciate the peace and serenity of the adjacent park.
