Nature based solutions

We specialise in implementing Nature-Based Solutions to address environmental challenges using sustainable landscape approaches. Our expertise includes comprehensive Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD), which strategically integrates water management into the urban environment. Alongside the Wetland Creation and engineered Biofiltration Systems we design and build, this service focuses on improving water quality, managing stormwater, and enhancing local biodiversity. We deliver resilient, ecological infrastructure that provides both high functional performance and significant long-term environmental value.

How we can help

Our teams specialise in end-to-end delivery of Nature-Based Solutions, implementing Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD), for wetland creation, and biofiltration systems to improve water quality and enhance biodiversity.

Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD)

We implement Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) principles to integrate water management into built environments. This involves creating features like bioretention systems and swales to treat stormwater, control runoff, and enhance urban amenity. Our focus is on achieving environmental compliance while delivering more resilient, liveable, and sustainable spaces.
