Water Engineering & Construction
Landline specialises in the design and construction of turnkey
water features and waterscape projects for developers, private
enterprise and public sector works.
The company has been in business for more than 20 years and
has a wealth of experience in the construction of specialist
water features and in associated civil engineering,
electromechanical work, earthworks and landscaping.
Design, planning and costing
The company is able to work with clients, architects and
designers from project inception through to final build and can
provide planning stage budget costings for conceptual or outline
designs as well as later stage firm pricing for the complete water
feature package works.
Civils
Landline can construct retaining walls, pump chambers and
manholes, rock waterfalls, timber decking, kerb edging and
pathways, bridges and associated foundation work, and in
addition can install drainage and leak detection pipework.
Specialist rock cutting, drilling and lifting is undertaken together
with all construction earthworks excavation, and timber, brick
and stone hard edge detailing.
Electromechanical
Landline can design and install large scale pumping systems,
control panels and recirculation pipework for lake cascading or
waterfall features and can provide ultrasonic level sensing,
ultraviolet filtration and conventional or fibre optic underwater
lighting. In-house stainless steel fabrication facilities enable
grilles, access points, railings and specialist weir plate
constructions to be designed and built.
Geosynthetics
Landline can design and match the specification and detailing of
the waterproof lining to the civils elements involved, as well as
to the requirements and demands of the water feature. The
company can supply and install fully welded and tested
geomembrane linings, protection geotextiles and specialist
waterproof fixings.
Landscape
Landline can construct islands and planting shelves within the
excavation, grade and prepare the final form earthworks and
provide aquatic planting and finish landscaping. In addition,
specialist supply and installation of rock, cobbles, pebbles and
decorative stone is undertaken.
