One Thames City's West Courtyard in London has been elevated with the installation of a stunning water wall and reflective mirror pool, serving as a calming focal point for residents and visitors. Central to this transformation is the use of our sustainable BG-FILCOTEN tec trench drains with custom-made stainless steel slot tops. These products ensure efficient drainage while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the courtyard. The 40-meter-long, 7-meter-high water wall and the circular reflective mirror pool create a dynamic interplay of movement and tranquillity, showcasing the seamless integration of our environmentally-friendly drainage solutions into a grand and visually captivating landscape.
