One Eastside

This modern architectural water feature operates as a three-tier cascade with a split base composed of geometric, square pools. It blends dynamic water movement, subtle surface textures and integrated lighting to create an engaging focal point.

The upper pool features a water table.  A large, centrally located, illuminated bubbler discharges water which gently radiates out across the table and falls from the edge through a gap to an inclined collection channel below.

Water from the collection channel passes to an intermediate pool where it overflows a weir edge creating a clean sheet of falling water into one of the two lower pools emitting a soothing cascading sound.

The two lower pools are separated by a pathway but are hydraulically connected to maintain similar water levels in both pools.  Each of the lower pools have four submerged illuminated jets which produce a low-pressure, frothy, agitated water effect with a gentle acoustic white noise while glowing from within via integrated submersible LED lights.  These jets provide a gentle, playful conclusion to the water transit, contrasting beautifully with the tranquil water table at the top.

The water is filtered and disinfected in the water feature plant room located in the adjacent building with inlet and outlet locations to promote a good distribution of treated water to help maintain good water quality within the feature.

All control, treatment and pumping equipment is located in the water feature plant room

An eye-catching and unusual focal point enriching the built environment of an access stairway, that otherwise might be uninteresting, bringing a natural and harmonious environment to this space, alongside generating the calming effects of running water.

The water feature is a four tier structure with water transiting from the upper pools to the lower pools in sequence via a weir edge and water walls located to the side of each pool, all the way down to the lower landscaping area.

An LED light bar illuminates the flowing water at each of the weir-edge water walls which falls in a uniform sheet, the flow intertwining with the patterns on the granite.

Located at the rear of the lowest tier of the water feature construction, the plant room is where the water treatment equipment is installed. The water feature’s subterranean storage tank, which also houses the pumps, holds the water needed for the feature.

The feature consists of an illuminated water printer and swing set for visitors of the reservoir to enjoy. This computerised waterfall with attached swing set gives the impression you are going to be saturated by a cascading sheet of water, only for the water to disappear at the last possible time, leaving you dry.

The feature is situated over a large pool and water drops down from the printer whilst the user swings, with sensors stopping the water to allow the user through without getting wet. There is also a ‘Roulette’ function whereby the water may not stop if the user desires. An inclusive seat with harness has also been provided to allow those with lesser abled bodies to safely use the swing.

The feature is controlled via a Bluetooth enabled tablet which can also be used to draw words and shapes for the printer to display.

A kiosk adjacent to the feature houses the pumps, filtration equipment and electrical distribution board.

A sensor that prevents unwanted water flow works continuously even when the water swing seat is at rest.

A distinctive water feature to a state of the art sports facility, which offers a unique back drop.

Prominently sited to the forefront of the entrance to Leicester City FC Training Ground visitors are welcomed with an authentic visual impression of a wildlife scene that is symbolic of the club’s nickname, The Foxes, denoted from Leicestershire’s foxes and fox hunting history.

The spectacular scene, designed by sculptor Juliet Cursham, depicts a skulk of playfully animated foxes that are life-like and frozen in time as they clamber over rocks and splash around in a pool.  In the centre, a trio of foxes are pursuing a fish that is leaping out of the water.  The bronze foxes and fish are given life and movement by the playing water produced by a number of strategically placed water jets, and the still, large pool serves as a grand stage for their activities.

At dusk, advantageously placed LED lighting around the pool’s edge and submerged in the water shows the intricate workmanship, texture, and colour of the bronze sculptures, heightening the water feature’s visual intrigue and drama.

The entrance to One Thames City has two water features to showcase the building as people walk past or approach the foyer.

The simple, understated elegance of a pool water feature between the segregated entry and exit routes of the building provides a focal point instantly drawing the eye and affords a distinguished feel to visitors as they arrive and depart.

The ‘D’ shaped pool, with three submerged nozzles in the centre of the feature which generate a gentle disturbance on the water’s surface, is 7.3m long x 5.2m wide.

The second feature, a 4.2m circular pool that has one central submerged nozzle to generate a gentle disturbance on the water’s surface is located under the Port Cochere at the entrance foyer creates a welcoming, walkable space anchored by the eye-catching water feature centrepiece.

Both water features are supplied by a common plant room in the basement with shared water holding tank and filtration system. Water from the feature is also returned to the plant room via a series of pipes and strainers.

Passengers on the newly completed Metrolink line to the Trafford Centre can gaze at the display of the new water feature outside Selfridges or alight from the tram to stroll through a newly landscaped area and enjoy this water feature which is an 8m diameter granite-clad pool with multiple display elements.

The water feature utilises an outer manifold with inward arching jets, a vertical cascading inner manifold and finally, a central moving jet to create spectacular and dynamic water patterns.

Each of these displays are illuminated with LED spot lights with LED strips lights illuminating the inside and outside of the feature wall.  All lighting is LED colour changing and crystal white, fully programmable to suit the theme desired to compliment the programmable jet displays to depict seasonal/festive themes.

Set in the grounds of Grade II listed Haseley Manor this water feature is the centrepiece of an ornamental garden next to the recently converted manor house and newly built homes.

The small courtyard water feature consists of a 2.3 m x 2.3 m pool with a single water jet, illuminated by a sole white LED.

Surrounded by a network of paths and timber benches the space invites visitors to stop and enjoy the tranquil sound of the moving water.

The feature is situated at the entrance to the new service area building.

The large curved, pool– type feature, approximately 4m wide x 17m long along the central axis, consists of three aerated jets with a maximum jet height of 800mm on a parallel curve to the walls of the feature.

The inner design of the three aerating jets makes excellent use of water flow to transform them into soft, lively, foaming columns of water with a very high wind stability offering a strong contrast to their contemporary environment.

The water feature is a refurbishment of a Grade 2 listed structure which is dedicated to the memory of those in service who gave their lives in the Great War 1914 – 1918.

A large fountain raised in the centre of an ornamental pond, with a number of sculpted figures. The central figure represents sacrifice; the dead youth at her feet and the inverted torch are emblematic of the sacrifice made by humanity in the Great War. At the corners of the fountain are cherubs holding dolphins.

There are raised pools at the foot of the central figure each with one ‘Vulcan’ jet.

The central figure is also illuminated via 4 warm white multi LED fountain lights.

Following our inclusion onto the Tameside Works First initiative we were contacted by the manager of the local cemeteries department to see if we could assist in the restoration of an existing fountain located in Droylsden Cemetery.

Following various discussion and proposals we were awarded a contract early in 2010 to refurbish the existing 2.6 metre diameter pool and provide a series of 8 clear stream peripheral jets which fire the water into the centre of the pool attaining a maximum height of 1.5 metres.

The pumping and water treatment equipment is to be located in a purpose built GRP kiosk located local to the pool.
