Behind every installation is
the reassurance of quality engineering and practical
know-how.
New projects involve research
and development usually
prototypes are developed in the studio before full-scale
pieces are progressed.
James Designs offers the expertise
of a qualified chartered engineer experienced in project
management, with the security of his many years experience

It is essential that
a water feature is not only beautiful in itself but also
enhances its location, functions reliably as desired,
and is straightforward to maintain. The following engineering
issues are considered:
- Size and weight
- Design integration
- Materials (including durability,
colour and finish)
- Electrical power supply
- Water supply, drainage, filtration,
purification, evaporation, splashing, overflow, noise,
the effect of filling by rain and the risk of freezing
- Effects of air movement
- Lighting
- Safety and children
- Commissioning, operation and
maintenance
- Planting (if any)
