AquaticEngineering is a leading designer and supplier of floating reedbeds and floating islands in the UK.

The company offers a wide range of raft shapes and sizes, as well as an efficient installation service based on many years of experience.

AquaticEngineerings floating reedbed products are manufactured from high-specification, durable materials at the company facility in Sussex.

Standard rectangular raft units can be connected together on site to form square or rectangular reedbeds, or gently sweeping curves, ranging from 10m2 to 2000+ m2. Circular islands in 4, 5, 6, 8 and 12m diameters are also available.

Typical applications:
• Lake and wetland remediation projects.
• Fishery improvement schemes.
• Wildfowl habitat creation.
• Pollution control applications, including nutrient and suspended solids removal in water supply reservoirs.
• Long-term algae control in eutrophic lakes and ponds.

Reedbeds can be supplied with anti-grazing protection, and customised for likely grazing pressure in the form of perimeter fencing, netted top covers or weldmesh cages. They can also be planted with a wide range of biodiverse native or local provenance aquatic plants.

Installations are designed for safe access if litter removal or vegetation management are required.
