Chelmsford Salt Marsh Pool

The water feature is named ‘The Saltmarsh Pool’ which is located in a paved area.

The layout is based on the saltmarsh creeks found on the Essex coast and is a series of complex curved units with water flowing gently through a series of channels and pools.

Water enters the pool from two inlet positions which are designed to minimise visible water turbulence as the intended effect is for a gentle flow of shallow water through the pools and channels to the outlet. The water travels down over a series of four stepped levels with a small step down between each. 

The feature on and off times are controlled via timers in the control panel which is located in a plant room in the basement area.

A water feature located in a central courtyard area of a residential development creating a tranquil and peaceful space to relax.

The pool features 8 foam jets discharging in a linear pattern. To further enhance the jets during the evening time each one is illuminated by two LED lights.

Within the Central Chelmsford development, a water feature named ‘The Source’ is located in a paved area between office blocks. The feature is a cluster of arching fountain jets at ground level which are individually controlled and sequenced.

The feature has a total of 7 arching jets set out in a staggered pattern all aiming in the direction of a return grate. Jet heights are variable up to 1m high with a 2.6m throw.

To further enhance the display each jet is illuminated by a white LED light. During the evening time the LED lights catch the jets and bring a whole new aspect to the feature to that of the daytime.
