What is a dry fountain?

In dry fountains the contact between people and water is constant, so water quality is especially important. Our dry fountain projects include a modern water filtration and disinfection system in order to obtain water of drinking quality in the fountain tank. Human contact with such a fountain is completely safe even if you drink water from it, which is quite common for the youngest visitors.

The contrast between the static architecture and the game of water with bright lights in a variety of shapes and patterns can

Walkable Fountain Design

As soon as the fountain turns on - dozens of jets of various shapes and sizes gush out of the ground forming an impressive, colorful water pattern. All the embedded elements of the pedestrian fountain are installed with the pedestrian area facing flush to the ground. They are usually made of stainless steel so that visitors can safely walk on them.

Our team can implement a "dry fountain" project of any scale. Everything begins with the development of a sketch with a unique water pattern design for your proposed location, with a careful study of the completed questionnaire. After agreement of the conceptual design, we develop a project solution for the construction of a pedestrian fountain. The design of the pedestrian fountain provides for its long-term and safe operation.

Calculation of the jet height, type of nozzles, water pressure and water pattern is made taking into account the possible hit in the trajectory of the jet of a child or adult, - the safety of visitors is always in the first place.

Our dry fountain designs can be equipped both with systems of static unvarying pattern or devices to create a dynamic water pattern with nozzle movement during the fountain operation, in parallel with the operation of the valve that regulates the flow of the nozzle. Each pedestrian fountain nozzle is equipped with one or more LED RGB lights with DMX control.

Quality assurance and lifetime of the fountain

The most modern and sophisticated types of dry fountains are designed to interact between the surroundings and water objects, and in some cases with light and sound effects associated with the movement of visitors or work scenarios.

These are playful installations that increase the possibilities of public spaces by encouraging communication between people and their interaction. These fountains are similar in design and concept to dry fountains, but also include additional devices that allow visitors to control fountain parameters and work scenarios.

For example, an interactive dry fountain might include a floor pad with rubber buttons for children's feet. Each button has a sensor that controls the function. By stepping on them, the user can add or remove lights, change the color of the water, or control the height of the jets. The fountain can also be equipped with manual buttons set at a convenient height for kids. A sensor included in each button will send a signal to the fountain's control unit; the system interprets the signal and triggers the appropriate function.

The design and construction of interactive dry fountains is a most interesting challenge for our team, and an opportunity to obtain a unique object for our customers.

Turnkey fountain construction with a ready-made project

The term object realization is often a major factor of customers' interest. To optimize the process of customer specification and commercial proposal from our company, we offer the choice of several dozen standard design options with ready-made visualization and calculation of the equipment. Quite often, we choose the configuration in a day, agree on the price and install it at the proposed location of the customer.

The construction of a dry fountain, with the selected patterns, can begin the next day after signing a contract with the client. This saves time by 10-15 days for the customer to develop sketches, coordination and calculation of the cost of construction and equipment. 

Fountain design Modification- Possibility

We are open to new and unique solutions to the water pattern and fountain configuration. We accept and implement any customer request for project modifications. The equipment configuration is adapted to the specification, the required budget and operating conditions.

Two visually similar projects can create completely different water patterns and differ in cost of equipment and construction is higher. A detailed discussion of cost formation and specifications takes place preparing the terms of reference

Dry Fountain Construction

As per the orders we have received over the years, pedestrian fountains are the most popular and in demand. Such models are also called dry fountains because the bowl is under the pedestrian surface. When turned off, it is practically invisible in the walking area.

We have submitted dry fountain designs ranging in size from 300-400 square feet – to quite large and complex of 15000-20000 square feet.

The construction of such objects is more complicated than the standard fountains with an open bowl. If you have a ready-made project, it reduces the period of preparatory work by several weeks. Adaptation of the dry fountain project to the customer's specifications usually takes no more than 3-5 days. Post completion, our client receives the final version of the visual localization, and an estimated calculation of equipment and construction works. 

Fountain cost and construction deadline

Even for typical projects, the calculation of the cost is carried out individually, because the exact price depends on many external factors, location and conditions. Our specialists will prepare an offer within one working day from the moment of your request and clarification of the terms of reference.

The construction period usually does not take more than 5-6 weeks from the start of work. To minimize transportation costs, we control the availability of standard equipment in our own warehouse. For complex projects it is necessary to check the availability in our UAE warehouse. The deadlines will be set also considering the possibility of a missing item being delivered from the manufacturer's warehouse in some instance.
