Green roof and desalination plant design.

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. It covers a number of buildings of the process plant ranging in pitch from 3 5 to 20 degrees. 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 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.

Vegetables are the other main group of annual plants used on green roofs. These require irrigation and a substrate depth of at least 200 mm. This is the section of east coast park that is closest to the city. 1 2020 access to the green.

Victoria s new desalination project is covered with a living tapestry of indigenous plants that reflect the changing seasons and environment. 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. The 263 hectare site will become a re vegetated native parkland and the vegetation on the living roof reflects this commitment. Some green roofs are constructed specifically to support sports turf.
