About Hydro Dramatics
We Get Your Fountain Up & Flowing
Some projects need the world's tallest fountain. Others need water shaped in a completely new way. In both cases, Hydro Dramatics turns ambitious water-design concepts into working fountain systems that are reliable and easy to maintain.
For more than 40 years, we have designed and engineered well-known fountain systems and architectural water features in the United States and abroad. We are a division of Missouri Machinery & Engineering Co. This gives our team deep mechanical engineering expertise. It also gives us direct access to fabrication and manufacturing, which ambitious and unconventional fountain projects require.
Our designs range from simple to complex and from classically elegant to playful. We serve architects, landscape architects, developers, municipalities and contractors, and we combine creative vision with engineering discipline on every project.
Our Fountain Systems
Types of Fountains We Engineer
Each system is engineered for its site, climate, water volume and user safety. We handle everything from the water effect you see to the mechanical equipment hidden below grade.
Site Fountains
Sculptural and architectural fountains for plazas, campuses and corporate landscapes.
Interactive Fountains
Splash pads and programmable jets designed with public safety and water treatment in mind.
Floating Fountains
Display and aerating fountains for lakes, ponds and stormwater basins.
Floating Ball Fountains
Precision-machined granite spheres that rotate on a thin film of pressurized water.
Vaults & Equipment
Underground vaults, pumps, filtration and controls, engineered for long service life.
Where Engineering Meets Water Art
Hydraulics, structure, lighting and controls are developed together. Your fountain performs as designed on opening day and for decades afterward.
Why Project Teams Choose Us
One Partner from Concept to Commissioning
International buyers and design firms get a single accountable team that covers design, engineering and manufacturing.
Mechanical Engineering
We size pumps and plumbing, specify filtration and water treatment, and prepare hydraulic calculations and construction documents that suit your project's specifications.
In-House Fabrication
As a division of Missouri Machinery & Engineering Co., we build custom components, frames and equipment packages under one roof.
Lighting & Controls
We integrate submersible LED lighting, programmable sequences and wind sensors so each display can be managed for performance and safety.
Equipment Vaults
We engineer below-grade vaults that keep equipment secure, hidden from view and easy for maintenance staff to access.
Proven Track Record
Our portfolio includes civic parks, riverfronts, memorials and mixed-use plazas that still operate years after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
We design and engineer site fountains, interactive fountains and splash pads, floating fountains for lakes and ponds, and floating granite ball fountains. We also engineer the underground vaults and mechanical equipment that run them.
Yes. We have delivered fountain systems and architectural water features across the United States and abroad. We work with architects, landscape architects, developers, municipalities and general contractors.
We are a division of Missouri Machinery & Engineering Co. As a result, our design team has in-house engineering expertise and direct access to fabrication and manufacturing. Large, unusual or fully custom fountains depend on these resources.
Bring us in during schematic design. At that stage we can size the pumps, filtration, water treatment, lighting and equipment vault together with the architectural concept. This prevents costly redesign later.
