- Effective Pollutant Removal
- Operates Within Existing Water Bodies
- Enhances Water Clarity & Visual Appeal
- Supports Biodiversity & Habitat
- Flexible Placement & Layout
- Low-Energy, Passive Operation
- Integrates Into Treatment Trains
- Built for Long-Term Value
- Low Maintenance
Floating Treatment Wetland
Benefits for your project
Interlocking floating modules form a flexible system that can be configured to suit each site.
Benefit:
- Scales to match treatment requirements
- Allows staged installation and future expansion
- Adapts as site conditions or project needs evolve
You’re not locked into a fixed solution. The system grows with your project.
Designed to float on lakes, basins, and waterways without major structural changes.
Benefit:
- No need for additional land allocation
- Ideal for retrofit projects
- Minimises disruption during installation
This makes FTWs one of the most practical upgrades for underperforming assets.
Utilises plant roots and microbial biofilm to treat water naturally.
Benefit:
- Reduces reliance on chemicals or mechanical systems
- Supports sustainable, low-impact treatment
- Enhances natural ecosystem processes
It’s water treatment that works with nature.
Targets key stormwater pollutants through multiple treatment pathways.
Benefit:
- Reduces nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus
- Captures suspended solids and sediment
- Supports breakdown of organic contaminants
- Helps control algal growth
This multi-layered approach delivers stronger, more balanced water quality outcomes.
Improves the physical condition of the water body over time.
Benefit:
- Clearer, cleaner-looking water
- Reduced odour and visible pollution
- Improved amenity for public and private spaces
Better water quality doesn’t just perform — it looks better too.
Introduces vegetation and root structures into the water column.
Benefit:
- Creates habitat for fish, birds, and aquatic life
- Encourages healthier ecosystems
- Contributes to environmental restoration goals
FTWs add life back into water systems, not just function.
Can be configured in different layouts to suit site conditions.
Benefit:
- Positioned to intercept inflows and maximise treatment
- Installed along edges, in clusters, or across flow paths
- Designed to balance performance with accessibility and safety
Every installation is tailored, not templated. Learn more on the Configurations page.
No mechanical components required for treatment.
Benefit:
- Minimal operational costs
- Reduced energy consumption
- Lower long-term maintenance complexity
A simple system that delivers consistent results without ongoing energy demand.
Works alongside other stormwater infrastructure.
Benefit:
- Enhances performance of GPTs, basins, and filtration systems
- Fits into existing design frameworks
- Helps meet regulatory and environmental targets
FTWs don’t replace systems — they strengthen them.
Durable, adaptable system designed for ongoing performance.
Benefit:
- Maintains effectiveness over time
- Can be modified or expanded as needed
- Supports long-term sustainability and ESG outcomes
It’s not just an installation, it’s an investment in better water management.
