Integrated Constructed Wetlands
Designing functioning wetland systems that improve water quality, enhance biodiversity, and deliver landscape-scale ecological benefits.
Integrated Constructed Wetlands (ICWs) offer a powerful way to clean water while supporting nature. Designed to treat runoff or wastewater using natural processes, ICWs are also rich habitats for birds, amphibians, invertebrates, and wetland plants.
We provide ecological input into ICW planning, design, and monitoring, making sure the wetland functions effectively for water treatment and delivers real biodiversity value. We assess site suitability, survey baseline conditions, and help shape wetland layouts that support a diversity of species.
Whether integrated into farm systems, housing developments, or larger-scale catchment schemes, ICWs can be part of a wider landscape-scale recovery for wetlands and freshwater wildlife.
Key elements of our ICW service include:
• We cover everything from feasibility, design, planning, and delivery
• Ecological surveys and baseline assessments for ICW sites
• Design input to maximise habitat quality and species benefit
• Monitoring of vegetation, birds, invertebrates, and water quality
• Supports water treatment, biodiversity goals, and BNG
• Collaboration with planners, engineers, and stakeholders to ensure delivery and compliance.
