Expert Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineers in Bury Saint Edmunds

Reflecting on a Reflection Pool. Five years ago the historically important Temperate House within the Kew Gardens was reopened by David Attenborough following an amazing refurbishment program undertaken by Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew. Miles Water Engineering had the privilege to be involved in the project. We were commissioned design and construct several rock features and streams, including the main water feature, the rock cascade, reflection pool and associated pumping systems. The project also involved carefully relocating the ancient trees, some of which were more than 100 years old, often carried in on their side with a team of people supporting the root ball, trunk and canopy. We also transported tons of specialist soils for the new plant beds and finished with re-landscaping works. Who could forget manoeuvring the sensitive flora, home to some of the some of the worlds rarest and endangered temperate plants, with large machinery surrounded by 15,000 panes of glass!
