Rawlplug S A : supporting eco-friendly construction. Look for our products in the world’s most innovative buildings.

Rawlplug supporting eco-friendly construction. Look for our products in the world's most innovative buildings. Oct 26, 2022

One of the goals of Rawlplug's sustainability strategy, based on ESG premises (environmental, social responsibility, corporate governance), is to provide innovative solutions you can trust. Eco-building is a trend of the future, but we can proudly claim of already being its part. Rawlplug's products are used to construct some of the most innovative buildings in the world. We would like to present you with several investment projects involving implementation of smart technologies, economising the consumption of resources, and making sure that green space is created for residents.

The city-state of Singapore is the eco-building trailblazer. By the way, it is absolutely not without reason that Singapore is referred to as a garden city,and increasingly often even a city in a garden. Even though Singapore is growing rapidly and is heavily urbanised, the city-state authorities make sure that the deforestation process, which proceeds as more and more skyscrapers and residential buildings are being erected, goes hand in hand with the implementation of diverse solutions intended to protect the environment.

Below you can read about three Singaporean reference projects developed with the use of Rawlplug's products in the construction phase. Each of these investments is an excellent example of modern eco-building, which we want to support and whose principles we intend to promote.

Surbana Jurong Campus

Automatic shades designed to reduce heat loss, smart lighting systems to reduce CO2 emissions, and green spaces for recreation and relaxation are just some of the solutions introduced in the new headquarters of Surbana Jurong, a consulting company. The building complex, expected to be completed in 2023, is set to become one of the world's most innovative workplaces. Designed by a well-known architect, Moshe Safdi, the project reflects Singapore's character as a garden city. The building harmoniously blends with the surrounding vegetation and is expected to be one of the flagship examples of the sustainable construction of the future. Three types of Rawlplug-branded products were used while developing the Surbana Jurong Campus: the R-HPTIIA4 stainless steel throughbolts, the FX-N-L-A2 nylon hammer-in fixings with countersunk-head screws, and the SDS plus Rabardrill bits.

Singapore Changi Airport

Is it possible to build a waterfall, a multi-level garden, and walking paths at an airport? These are precisely the kinds of attractions that passengers can look forward to when they head to Singapore's Changi Airport. The airport currently consists of four terminals (the fifth is under construction and is set to be opened for passengers in 2030) as well as a part referred to as the Jewel, being a 134,000 m2 large complex which combines a garden and a shopping centre. The Jewel took over four years to build and cost more than USD 1.25 billion. In 2020, a renovation project began at Terminal 2. We are truly glad that Rawlplug's products were used in the venue expansion project, and more specifically the R-RBP mechanical anchors designed for hollow core slabs and ceramic substrates, the R-XPT throughbolts for non-cracked concrete, the R-HPTIIZF anchors suitable for various types of concrete, the R-LX screws for concrete, and the RTSDSR drill bits. Not only did we supply fixing solutions and drill bits, but our experts also conducted the necessary on-site strength tests and provided local engineers with full technical support.

Woodlands Health Campus

Woodlands Health Campus is set to become Singapore's largest hospital complex. The venue will be commissioned in stages, with the specialist clinics going operational first, and the emergency unit as well as the inpatient wards to be opened by 2024. The Woodlands Health Campus represents a new approach to healthcare. Not only will it comprise comprehensively equipped offices for physicians and patients, but also a garden stretching on an area of 15.5 hectares. The facility is being developed in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner; more than 2,000 square metres of photovoltaic panels will be installed on the hospital roof, making it possible to reduce electricity consumption by up to 30 per cent (compared to healthcare facilities of similar size). The Woodlands Health Campus is Singapore's another green investment project developed with the use of Rawlplug's products: the R-KEX-II epoxy resin, the R-XPT throughbolts, the R-XPTIIA4 stainless steel throughbolts, the RT-MAXA series drill bits, and the RT-SDSR Rebardrill SDS Plus bits.
