To ensure the optimum outcome for your LSS project, you need a team with the experience and expertise to deliver on your project goals.

We are the consultants who facilitate the goals and objectives of the project team including architects, builders, engineers and developers. This process helps to ensure the success of the project and verify the performance of their LSS system.

We are committed to providing effective leadership and cost-effective solutions based on a thorough analysis of our clients’ needs.

Because of our vast experience (over 40 years) with life support systems, we can provide invaluable assistance to our clients in developing their project specifications.

Aquatic Environments’ designs include project specifications that achieve the highest industry standards. By specifying the best quality materials and equipment, we put the health of your animals, the longevity of your exhibit, and the functionality of your life support systems (LSS) as a first priority. In an effort to deliver a design that is both efficient and meets the highest industry standards, we may offer value-engineering ideas. This approach often reduces costs, keeping the project on budget, without sacrificing LSS performance. Additionally, our functional design and layout make it easy to operate and maintain your LSS.

Our relationship with our clients is as important to us as the quality of our work. Our objective is to identify the needs of our client and provide the expertise in design and installation. We use a collaborative approach that addresses the concerns of the architect, exhibit designer, operator and husbandry staff to deliver the best LSS design and achieve the project goals.

With over 40 years of experience, Aquatic Environments has developed a reputation for delivering LSS on budget and on time to the highest industry standards. Installation starts with a great design, but recognizing areas of improved efficiencies in system layout often leads to improved operation and enhanced ease of maintenance. Our goal is to exceed the needs and expectations of the husbandry staff, operators, and maintenance crew. We achieve this goal while maintaining an open dialog with all stakeholders throughout the installation process. This leads to a collaborative approach to better serve the needs of the institution from top to bottom and in all relevant departments.

We do it right the first time!

By incorporating the highest quality equipment with expert installation techniques, and with real time input for all departments during installation, we ensure the best possible outcome and success for your project.
