in order to maintain and improve the UK’s diverse waterways whilst using its expertise to keep water bodies across the country navigable, functional and in the best ecological health. Another recent example of a joint venture project undertaken with TES includes the restoration of Southmere Lake in Thamesmead, SE London, which saw environmental enhancements made to a large com- munity lake. This included the creation of five large floating islands, reed beds and wetlands as part of wider regeneration plans in the area from client Peabody. In acknowledgement of this project and its services overseeing the lake restoration, Land & Water Group received an honourable ‘Perfor- mance beyond Compliance’ recognition on behalf of the Considerate Constructors Scheme. The team met specific criteria which included ‘Respect the Community’, ‘Protect the Environment’, ‘Secure every-
one’s Safety’ and ‘Protect their Workforce’, highlighting even further how the different areas of the firm are committed towards working together to enhance and conserve the areas in which it works.
