Earlier establishment of plant growth provided new habitat and encouraged nesting birds, adding to the biodiversity. 51.586488282758,-0.056419721804559 Biomatrix Water Galen Biomatrix Water Solutions Limited Fulford Floating vegetated bank structures,, ,,, 21944 Land & Water, Terraqua 2015-05-06Z 2457148.5 Biomatrix-logo2.png Complete The project was under Thames 21 initiative to improve rivers and canals for people and wildlife. The objective was to increase wildlife habitat and biodiversity in the area, at the same time helping to reduce pollution, improve water quality and visually soften hard edges. The project involves installation of a series of Floating Ecosystem active edges made up of various sizes, based along the riverside. The systems are connected to the riverside to the riverside using a heavy duty weighted mooring line with a break strength exceeding 5,000 KG. The mooring line is fixed at the top using a 12mm mechanical expansion bolt and the bottom anchor is connected to an anchor weight. The anchor line is threaded directly through the floating structure and stainless steel bracketing system. This configuration allows the floating ecosystem to move smoothly up and down during changing water levels, while floating up during flood events and lowering down during low water conditions allowing vertical movement, whilst minimising any horizontal movement. Works involved implementing floating bank structures planted with vegetation to improve aesthetics and water quality.
