Reedbed Consultation & Design Phase
Designing reedbeds with precision and purpose
This phase begins with a detailed site assessment across soil, hydrology, topography and space constraints.
With the data, we will determine the feasibility and suitability of implementing a reedbed system. We then consult with stakeholders to determine treatment objectives based on wastewater characteristics and regulator requirements. This will take into account:
- Flow rates
- Pollutant loads
- Performance targets
- Compliance and permits
Our team will help to secure all necessary regulatory permits and then develop detailed engineering plans for reedbed construction that is specific to your requirements.
This includes calculating your reedbed size and layout, construction materials, liner specs, hydraulic design and vegetation advice. We also offer monitoring protocols, training, and maintenance support to ensure your reedbed operates at maximum performance over its lifecycle.
Versatile solutions for a range of sectors
Industry – treatment of contaminated water or legacy site runoff
Agriculture – slurry and silage effluent management
Landfill & Restoration – leachate treatment and habitat creation
Local Authorities – public spaces, nature-based solutions
