Canberra MRT Station is an elevated track built on the North South Line located along Canberra Link in Sembawang, Singapore. The station’s barrel vault roof span was approximately 50m and the architectural design brief required the roof covering to be in a single length sheet, without end laps. KingZip Linea Standing Seam System with 65mm high ribs can be used for roof pitches up to 1.5 degrees and was site rolled and curved for the project.
The project specification required Thermal Transmittance Value (U value) no higher than 0.5W/m2K and a Sound Transmission Class (STC) of at least 38dB. Kingspan was able to exceed both these requirements with our proposed roof build-up. In addition to the acoustic and thermal performance requirements, as the structure being a public transport facility, the lining material had to meet Class O of the Building Standards and must pass BS476 Part 6 & 7. The KingZip Linea roof layer and the steel decking layer meet these requirements exactly and is also accredited Class 1 Roof Panel as per FM Approvals Standard FM4471.
“One of the main performance requirements of the project was for the complete roof system assembly to comply with FM4471, which was achieved by KingZip Linea Standing Seam roof system.” -DP Architects
