Reed Beds

Reed beds offer an alternative and effective method of supplementary sewage treatment. As framework contractors to the Environment Agency, we understand the sensitive ecological requirements of these types of works.

Our experience on reed beds began in the early 1990s with two reed beds in the village of Bobbington, near Stourbridge.

Further reed bed works were carried out subsequently in Bishops Castle, Stoke St. Margaret, Clive, Bettws Cedewain, Whittington and Montgomery and Sale Green, all for Severn Trent Water. The work was often in conjunction with other sewage treatment construction.

2007 saw us complete a large four reed bed system at a foot and mouth burial site at Ridgeway ground near Pershore for DEFRA and a smaller reed bed at the village of Adfa, Powys, about twelve miles north west of Newtown.

We enjoy working on reed bed construction as it embodies a series of disciplines on each project including earthmoving, geotextiles, membranes, gabions, brick or concrete chambers, pipework, gravel placement, launder channels and footpaths. All are essential elements in reed bed construction and fully utilise our multi-skilled workforce.
