Ocmis Begins Work on Armada Way Regeneration in Plymouth

Ocmis is delighted to announce that we have officially commenced work on the Armada Way regeneration project in Plymouth. This ambitious transformation, led by Plymouth City Council, aims to revitalise the city centre, creating a greener, more inviting public space with new walkways, enhanced landscaping, and striking water features.

Our journey on this project began in late 2022, with Ocmis playing a key role in the design process from RIBA Stages 2-5, led by our Design Manager Dan Haines. After months of collaboration and planning, we were officially appointed in December 2024 to deliver the system, and works are now well underway on site, with major progress expected throughout 2025.

Ocmis’ Role in the Regeneration

Our specialist expertise is being utilised across several key elements of the project, including:

  • A new irrigation system to support the extensive tree planting 🌳
  • Restoration & upgrade of the Phoenix Fountain, introducing an exciting new water effect πŸ”₯πŸ’¦
  • Installation of a dynamic dancing jet feature ✨
  • Creation of a wide cascading rill that flows through the heart of the development 🌊
