Ecological Design and Environmental Consultancy Experts

FiveRivers provides ecological design and environmental consultancy services including environmental consenting and assessment. Our roots are in practical contracting, and we use this practical experience in our ecological design and environmental consultancy services, with an ethos that focuses on sustainable environmental improvements that maximise environmental benefit. Construction risks are designed out early on and any risk regarding buildability, access and materials are addressed during the conceptual stages of design. 

We can provide a full suite of habitat improvement and ecological design services, from initial concept/scoping and topographic site surveys through to the production of reporting and detailed drawings in both 2D and 3D. We will always aim, where practicable, to work with natural processes in our ecological design works rather than trying to over-engineer more substantial solutions that are not sustainable in the long term. The ecological designs we create are bespoke, sympathetic to the on-site conditions and will always utilise site-won materials where possible. 

Our historic practical construction experience is invaluable to ensure schemes are designed efficiently and effectively, construction risks are designed out early on to deliver maximum environmental benefit and any risk regarding buildability, access and materials are addressed early on during the conceptual stages of design.

Our ecological design and environmental consultancy team consists of geomorphologists, ecologists, engineers and hydraulic modellers, all of whom play a vital role in ensuring that we only ever deliver sustainable solutions to meet your requirements. 

All of our ecological design work conforms to CDM2015 regulations (Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015) and current industry best practices as a minimum, meaning you can be rest assured that your project is in safe hands.
