Ang Mo Kio Polyclinic – Singapore

Project Name:

• Ang Mo Kio Polyclinic Singapore

Featured Products:

• ARDEX K 310
• ARDEX AF 2365

Situation:

• The National Healthcare Group (NHG) has six polyclinics serving a significant proportion of the population in the central and northern parts of Singapore. Its primary healthcare arm, National Healthcare Group Polyclinics (NHGP), wanted to relocate the Ang Mo Kio polyclinic, one of Singapore’s busiest to get a facelift with new facilities and to relocate to better serve patients and the community. ARDEX products have been successfully specified on hundreds of flooring installations within the healthcare sector, including the Ng Teng Feng General Hospital & Jurong Community Hospital, Singapore.

Solution:

• ARDEX have developed a system of products specifically designed for fast track flooring installations that minimize downtime and disruption and ensure a perfect finish every time. ARDEX products have controlled drying and hardening properties, allowing the product to be walked on, and the installation of the final floorcovering to be completed, in the shortest possible time. To commence the 5000m2 internal flooring job in Ang Mo Kio polyclinic, the subfloor was professionally prepared and ARDEX K 310 Self-smoothing Compound as Underlayment was applied to level and smoothen the floor to be ready to receive the floor covering. ARDEX K 310 is Green Label certified and therefore ideal for healthcare areas. Furthermore, its fast drying time allows the subsequent work to be started very fast. In order to install the vinyl floor covering, ARDEX AF 2365 Universal Flooring Adhesive was chosen. It is a water-based, solvent-free acrylic, emulsion-based flooring adhesive for permanent internal applications. Like this, the job was completed only after 90 days and the new clinic resumed operations on Monday, 29 January 2018 at its new site as planned.
