Environmental & Sustainability Overview
Superior Sustainability
Significant positive Environmental and Ecological outsomes achieved; entire process, both in its off-site construction, placement and subsequent use is a superior invironmentally sustainable and less impactful solution than traditional on-site construction
‘Removeable, Relocatable, and Reusable’
Waterborne’s Pontoon, Structure and Anchor/Mooring systems are completely removable, relocatable and reusable.
They Provide a longer useful operational life over alternative options, including easily being towed away and repaired/ reconditioned.
Future-Proof against Sea Level Variations
Delivering a truly future-proof solution, the design protects against potential climate change (and other factor) induced changes in sea-level, without impacting the activity or integrity of the structure.
Minimal Noise & Environmental Disruption
Waterborne structures have minimal impact on your site, unlike traditional piling which requires costly works and near removal of the entire seabed. Noise disruption is kept to a minimum with a Waterborne structure and the existing seabed is protected.
Sound Ecological Values
Commitment that all design ideas proposed will be firmly based on sound Ecological and Engineering values. All proposals are accompanied by detailed ecological analysis by our marine scientists

Sustainability Initiatives
Protecting ‘Blue Carbon’ Habitats
No need for dredging or land reclamation means the protection of ‘Blue Carbon’ Ecosystems; essential marine environments such as mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrassed that store excess environmental carbon.
Mitigation of Environmental Destruction
Coastal development practices such as dredging and land reclamation, particularly piling techniques associated with traditional piers, threaten these shallow-water ecosystems. With global seagrass habitats being lost at unprecedented rates, Waterborne’s floating structures make redundant the need for destructive practices and minimize impacts to these impotant habitats.
