  1. Ortus IDS 2010 Group 1 2O1

  2. Team • Martin Chen • Jonathan Koh • Jong Xuan • Samuel Ng

  3. Aims of project • Mega “Green” Resort on PulauUbin • Green Technology • Green energy supply • Green living practices • Green building methods

  4. Location

  5. Proposed Reclaimed Land Site

  6. Layout of Resort

  7. Proposal • The mega resort should be built on reclaimed land • Offshore from Mamam Beach • Resort is connected by a bridge to Mamam Beach

  8. Maman Beach Expansion • Maman beach is very small now and is unsuitable to handle large crowds for the mega resort • Reclaimed land will also include beaches • Mamam beach will be expanded 4 times larger

  9. Resort • Area of reclaimed land: • 200m(width) 400m(length) • Total: 80000 metre square • Artificial beach facing Mamambeach

  10. Layout Sea Wall Reclaimed Land Bridge Mamam Beach

  11. Beautifying Mamam Beach • Removal of poles in the sea • If there is a need, create sea walls in the place facing out to sea such that beach-goers are not affected

  12. Beach near jetty

  13. Reasons-Southern Beaches • Beach near Jetty/South Coast • Unpleasant view (Bumboats) • Noisy • Muddy • Short stretch of sand

  14. Reasons-Other Northern Beaches • Not enough space to expand beaches due to proximity to wetlands • Far away from major attractions like ChekJawa

  15. ChekJawa

  16. Reasons-ChekJawa • Unsuitable • Although the view at ChekJawa is pleasant, • ChekJawa is home to a rich biodiversity and constructing a resort there will destroy ecosystem

  17. Reasons-ChekJawa • Tourist attraction due to its diversity • Need to protect ChekJawa • A mega resort will result in deforestation • - Lost of habitat

  18. Mamam Beach

  19. Reasons- Mamam Beach • On Mamam Beach itself… • Not suitable • - Waves are destructive (23 waves/min) • - Beach will slowly erode away • -No longer term precaution to protect the resort

  20. Reasons- Mamam Beach • Since the waves are strong

  21. Reason- Mamam Beach • Families are unable to swim along the beach - danger to lives • Beach resort must have accessible/shallow waters • Beach Resorts must be FUN!

  22. Why Reclaim Land? • Reclaiming land from sea • - Solve problems of inadequate space on Ubin • -Provide more land for activities • - Does not require deforestation of mainland PulauUbin • -Does not affect flora and fauna on Ubin

  23. Coastal Management • The waves are destructive near Mamam Beach (>13 waves per minute) • The newly reclaimed land needs Coastal protection to prevent excessive soil erosion • The north coast of the reclaimed land bears the brunt of the sea waves

  24. Solution (SeaWalls) • Build a sea wall on the northern coast of the reclaimed land • Able to withstand strong pounding waves • Low maintenance

  25. Solution (Sea Wall) • Even though the sea wall is expensive, the cost of repairing the resort due to soil erosion will be much more than the cost of a sea wall.

  26. Solution (Coral Reefs) • Encourage coral reefs as they are: • Most eco-friendly • Natural barriers which dissipate waves • Aid the sea wall in protecting the coast • DOUBLE PROTECTION!

  27. Green Building Methods • Interior of resort to be constructed mainly of wood • Renewable ( Trees can grow back) • Visually pleasing (Natural look) • Save electricity • In the day, a wooden house is much cooler • Lesser electricity is used on air-conditioning

  28. Green Building Methods • Recycle Asphalt • Reuse tar from old roads to build new roads in the resort • Reduces the problem of disposing used asphalt • New asphalt requires oil to be made • Recycling them will save oil • Save the Earth!

  30. Green Building Methods • Use large amount of glass in the building • Natural Lighting • A lot of electricity is used up to light the facilities • Utilizing sunlight which is a natural resource • Reduces the reliance on electricity and fossil fuels

  31. Solar Energy

  32. Green renewable energy • Solar energy • Why solar energy? • Singapore receives strong sunlight all year round • Equatorial region

  33. Harnessing solar energy • Assemble solar panels on the roofs of the resort • Maximizes space • Provide renewable energy for the building • Maximizes the energy harness

  34. Harnessing solar energy • If energy produce is not sufficient… • Solar panel farm offshore • Use of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) • Generates electricity by using mirrors to focus the sun’s energy and convert it to high-temperature heat • This heat is then used to power a conventional generator

  35. Green Living Practices • Reduce • Air conditioning • ( More fans to replace Air conditioners) • Roof of Resort Lobby is transparent • -Allow light to enter during the day • -Need not rely on lighting which uses electricity

  36. Reduce • Encourage tourists to use less plastic bottles • Clean potable water are accessible from water coolers all around the resort • If the tourist insist on getting bottled drinks, he must buy them from specific stalls

  37. Reuse • Water drained from the shower is reuse to flush toilet • Shower water is drained down special pipe • Treated and filtered • Reuse to flush toilets • (30% of household water usage)

  38. Recycle • Put recycling bins all around the resort • (1 every 50 metres) • Every week, a boat will bring back the collected materials to be recycled to mainland
