Whether you have a simple hydrological issue or are envisaging a larger project, the guide below outlines how we work with clients, regulators and other professional services. We can put together a project team for our clients, but we always suggest to our clients, if there is an issue, then get us in early and let us support you. If we are not the right people, then we will try to recommend someone else.

Haycock Environmental Consultants Limited

Lakes :  We have worked on some major lake restoration schemes in the past decade, including Blenheim Palace Grand Lake and Capability Brown's Lakes at Longleat Estate. Whether is is restoring designated lakescapes or working with client to create new lakes or rejuvenate older lakes, we can scope out the issues, review options and then tender the works to then project manage as the principal designer.

Lakes :  Restoring Lakes often goes hand in hand with restoring the structrues associated with lakes, from weirs, cascades, leats to dams. We regularly work with reservoir engineers in the UK and Italy to develop hydrological and hydraulic solutions that meet aesthetic design requirements and legal obligations, more notably by delivering the repair of three designated dams/reservoirs on Longleat Estate.  

Wetlands :  Over the past 30 years we have been involved in a range of wetland schemes, from Ouse Fen (Needingworth) where we supported the RSPB in the development of a 520 hectares of new wetlands, through to the Venice Lagoon working with Ing Beppe Baldo to restore both river and floodplain habitats (River Zero and Dese). Work over the past 5 years has focused on both upland and lowland peat hydrology and rewetting these landscapes to secure carbon credit income for clients. We have developed new hydrological tools to implement the Peatland Code enabling client to release long term income from carbon and biodiversity net gain land based assets.
