Process

From Assessment to Deployment in 60–120 Days

How AWTT delivers a floating cover project — what each step involves, what we need from you, and what you receive.

  1. 1

    Site Assessment

    You send pond dimensions, location, and application context (or drop the questionnaire on the contact page). For large or irregular sites, drone imagery and a brief call accelerate the spec.

    Critical inputs: surface area, fluid type, wind zone, climate, freeboard requirements, regulatory regime (drinking water, NSF, biogas methane capture, etc.).

  2. 2

    Engineering & Product Recommendation

    AWTT engineering selects the product family (Armor Ball®, Hexprotect®, Rhombo Hexoshield®) and the wind/coverage/insulation grade that fits your site. We return a recommendation memo with rationale.

    Output: product family, count of modules, perimeter treatment, anchoring approach (typically none required), expected coverage and evaporation reduction.

  3. 3

    Quote & Submittal Documentation

    You receive a written quote with line-item pricing, lead time, and a submittal package — spec sheets, NSF documentation where applicable, and language you can drop into your RFP or capex justification.

    Submittal packs are designed to pass through procurement and engineering review without follow-up clarification cycles.

  4. 4

    Manufacturing

    Modules are produced on AWTT-proprietary equipment using UV-stabilized HDPE. AWTT supports projects through a North American-rooted global manufacturing network with regional production and logistics coverage.

    Quality control: dimensional checks per batch, material certifications retained, lot traceability for warranty support.

  5. 5

    Logistics & Delivery

    Palletized modules ship by truck domestically or by container internationally. We can quote DDP, FOB, or any standard Incoterm. AWTT has shipped to 25+ countries.

    On-site receiving: standard forklift and clear staging area. Modules are stackable and weather-tolerant in temporary outdoor storage.

  6. 6

    Installation

    Most projects are self-installed by the customer's crew with AWTT remote supervision — drop modules into the water; they self-level and interlock. AWTT field supervision is available for complex sites or compliance-sensitive installations.

    Typical install rates: 5,000–10,000 sq ft per crew per day for ball covers; 3,000–6,000 sq ft per crew per day for hexagonal systems. Hexprotect® AQUA self-loads via geometry — no special tools.

  7. 7

    Inspection, Warranty Activation, and Maintenance

    Final inspection confirms full coverage and proper module engagement. Warranty activates on delivery. AWTT products are engineered to be maintenance-free for the full 10-year warranty period.

    Recommended ownership practice: annual visual inspection (no removal required). Spare units shipped with every order cover incidental damage from boats, animals, or extreme events.

Anything you don't see here?

Every site has nuances. The seven steps above are the spine; the details flex around your regulatory regime, project scale, and procurement process. If you have a question about a step that isn't covered, send us the question — we'll answer in writing so it can travel with your bid package.

For procurement teams: AWTT routinely provides standard line-item specification language, NSF/ANSI documentation packets, ESG/sustainability fact sheets, and warranty terms ahead of an RFP cycle.
