From hard sheet piling to a living waterfront
FLOT. is an innovative floating structure that greens existing sheet pile walls. It boosts biodiversity, improves water quality and moves with waves and changing water levels.

Watch a module on the sheet pile wall grow from installation to living waterfront, above and below the water. Rotate the camera, use the timeline or let a boat sail past.
How FLOT. works
FLOT. consists of modular floating planters that are easily attached to the existing sheet pile wall. The structure moves with waves and changing water levels, without heavy work on the existing structure.
