Can you build irrigation reservoirs for farms?

Yes, we construct irrigation and agricultural reservoirs engineered for capacity and reliability, with proper inlet and outlet structures, overflow management, and access for maintenance.

Do you build attenuation ponds?

Can you build a pond on clay soil without a liner?

In some cases, yes. If the clay content is high enough and the soil is properly compacted, a natural clay seal can hold water without any synthetic liner. We assess this during the site survey.
