WATERSCAPES CREATE PART OF THE EVOLUTION OF CANARY WHARF
services are routed between each pontoon through a series of hidden ducts built into the structure , and invisible to the eye .
Located below the Jubilee Plaza , the plant which operates the irrigation system is located , allowing the Client to create , implement and adapt a variety of irrigation programs using the Rain Bird IVM control system . This intelligent system monitors the condition of the controls continually , providing data on each element of the control system , keeping the Client informed of any potential problems and making fault finding simple .
Waterscapes Ltd have been involved with providing irrigation services to the newly created Eden Dock within Canary Wharf . Formerly known as Middle Dock , Canary Wharf Group have formed a groundbreaking partnership with the Eden Project to create the first of many urban greening zones within the East London development .
Designed to have a significant positive impact on biodiversity and focused on connecting people with water & nature , Eden Dock is part of a much larger plan to have a green ‘ spine ’ running through Canary Wharf .
Being termed an ‘ Urban Oasis ’, Eden Dock offers a place to meet , to read , a hang-out amongst the gleaming towers that form Canary Wharf . Open water swimmers , visitors and residents alike , will improve their wellbeing whilst using the space . Working closely with Willerby Landscapes & Applied Landscape Design , Waterscapes have created a virtually invisible watering system through each of the floating pontoons to allow all of the different planting zones to receive the water they require to stay healthy . Using Rain Bird drip products , each tree , hedge , shrub and grass is watered accurately to prevent unnecessary water usage .
Built onboard the floating pontoons , each section of the gardens was constructed with meticulous detail to provide a fluid connection between each area . Irrigation
