Headwalls – Reliable Outfall Protection by AQUIKO
Headwalls are critical components for shaping, protecting and managing water discharge from pipes, culverts and drainage networks. Designed to safeguard embankments, improve hydraulic performance and extend the lifespan of surrounding infrastructure, AQUIKO headwalls provide durable, engineer-designed solutions built for UK conditions. With decades of experience behind us, we deliver robust headwall systems that balance structural strength with practical installation benefits.

Our Range of Headwalls
Standard Headwalls
Designed for straightforward outfall terminations, these units provide a stable interface between pipework and the surrounding ground while delivering essential erosion control.
Wingwall Headwalls
Ideal for installations requiring improved hydraulic performance and bank stability. Wingwalls help channel flow effectively, reduce turbulence and support structural integrity.
Reflex Wingwall Headwalls
For tighter installation footprints or where flow needs to be guided back toward the channel, reflex wingwall headwalls offer a compact yet effective solution.
Sloped Headwalls
Built with a sloped face for improved aesthetics and reduced impact in landscaped or visible areas, while retaining robust outfall protection.
Toe Extension Headwalls
Designed for sites requiring enhanced scour resistance, toe extension models deliver increased stability where water velocity or soil conditions demand extra protection.
Custom Headwalls
If you require a non-standard opening, geometry or site-specific adaptation, our custom service offers tailored headwall configurations developed to your project’s requirements.
