The project is based on the redevelopment of approximately 15 hectares of land, a former industrial site for the production of glass bottles, into a new city district. The aim is a new community with housing, offices and hotels, but also cultural spaces, leisure facilities, shopping and outdoor activities.

The design of the new site is integrated with the surrounding environment to create low-emission, high-efficiency buildings. There are approximately 3,800 new homes, providing accommodation for 9,000 people.

Among the Valsir solutions adopted in the project are Blackfire for waste systems, HDPE for rainwater collection and Mixal and Bravopress for water distribution. The choice puts sustainability first, demonstrated by the certifications of the Singapore Green Building Council and the environmental product declarations (EPD).

What it shows for a Finnish project

At the scale of a whole district, waste and water systems from one supplier simplify design and procurement. BLACKFIRE is the black three-layer polypropylene waste and rainwater system: below 10 dB(A) at 2 l/s (EN 14366) and fire class B1 (DIN 4102-1), self-extinguishing, without separate insulation. MIXAL is Valsir's composite pipe system for potable water and heating distribution: multilayer PE-Xb/Al/HDPE structure, drinking-water-approved PE-Xb inner layer and thermal expansion about 8 times lower than plastic pipes. BRAVOPRESS is the PPSU press-fitting range for the composite pipe system: the fittings do not corrode and the stainless steel press sleeve gives a fast and reliable joint.
