We're scientists first, consultants second; the uncompromising integrity of our studies is key, with confidentiality central to all we do. We have the capabilities to carry out large-scale, high profile and sensitive projects.

APEM boasts a multi-disciplinary, integrated approach to all areas of aquatic research and management. We understand the powerful 'knock-on' effect of individual components within the aquatic ecosystem. Our range of expertise is one of our key assets - so large-scale or complex commissions are our forte.

We're proud of our long association with the world's largest oxygenation scheme in the Manchester Ship Canal. APEM's management of adjoining waters at Salford Quays secured their use for the 2002 Commonwealth Games triathlon. We continue to enhance the stability and sustainability of this flagship waterbody - a major regeneration success story.
