Aquatic Engineering - reedbed and wetland specialists

Reedbeds are a reliable and cost-effective technology for the remediation of contaminants, such as wastewater effluent.

For over two decades the principal consultants of AquaticEngineering have been involved in developing reedbed and constructed wetlands for projects worldwide.

Aquatic Engineering has a wealth of experience in the field, especially in the areas of plant selection, filter bed design and construction, and aftercare services.

Reedbed benefits include:
• Low capital and operational costs.
• Very low maintenance.
• An environmentally sustainable process, which is chemical free.
• Minimal carbon impact.
• No operational noise.
• Aesthetically pleasing.
