The ULTIMATE event for waterways
& water level management

LATEST NEWS FOR 2025 -Waterways Management & Floodex will run alongside the National Civils Show, opening the event up to whole new audience of thousands of interested civil engineers, contractors, developers and planners, involved in construction, utilities, highways, railway and coastal defence professionals. There will be no walls between the events, so that interested visitors can cross between events unimpeded. 

We were delighted with the turnout of exhibitors, speakers and visitors. We have some fantastic quotes from exhibitors, that will be in the video, when completed. Including Waterways Management Show alongside Floodex and Drainage Show, proved to be a successful and well received initiative that we expect to expand dramatically for 2025.

The Waterways Management Show experience fantastic exhibitors and support for 2024, both old and new. The Canal and River Trust, Inland Waterways Association, with their Fund Britain's Waterways initiative and The River Restoration Centre  were exhibiting and supporting the Waterways Management Show, whilst Aquamaintain and British Hovercraft company  both hadcraft on display.

We are also delighted that the Society of Local Council Clerks (SLCC), was supporting the event. The SLCC is the professional body for local council clerks and senior council employees for over 5,000 local councils in England and Wales, many of whom will have waterways on or passing through their areas.

There was a particularly interesting presentation around tackling pollution with enzymes, that means we can counter pollution with a system that has no chemical ingredients and therefore safe for fauna and flora. According the the company this is an 'organic Enzyme based remediation solution, which they are able to modify in their labs to suit individual situations.

For instance the formula has the capacity to remediate oil pollution in water, resulting in complete decarbonisation of the pollutant, as opposed to the current method which involves detergents, which simply break-down the pollutant without a trace. There are plenty of other interesting presentations, around thirty in total, across three theatres, covering, waterways management, flood, SuDS and drainage.
