Floating Treatment Wetlands: Bridging the Gap

Join us for an engaging session with Andy Hornbuckle, CEO of Atlan Stormwater, as we explore how Floating Treatment Wetlands (FTWs) are bridging the gap between economics and the environment.

By mimicking the function of natural floating islands, FTWs offer a nature-based, engineered solution that delivers cleaner water, boosts biodiversity, and enhances urban spaces. These floating, vegetated habitats not only improve water quality but also provide vital refuge for frogs, birds, turtles, and fish – creating thriving ecosystems right in our urban environments.

In this webinar, you’ll gain insight into the science, design, and engineering behind FTWs, including how they:

• Integrate into Water Sensitive Urban Design strategies
• Harness biofilm and root systems to remove pollutants through sedimentation, nitrification, and phosphorus uptake
• Use modular, adaptable designs to suit diverse sites and evolving catchment needs
• Support long-term community engagement through scalable, visible environmental projects

Our speaker will share real-world case studies showcasing how FTW technology is delivering measurable environmental and community benefits — and how engineers, councils, and developers can use them to achieve sustainable development goals while maximising land use.

Key Takeaways

• The role of biomimicry in engineering practical environmental solutions
• How FTWs enhance biodiversity, habitat, and water quality outcomes
• Innovations in FTW technology for sustainable stormwater treatment
• Modular, scalable design approaches for changing project needs

Be inspired by how engineering and nature can work together to protect waterways, enhance land value, and create a lasting environmental legacy.
