situation:
The Adventure Aquarium was looking to create a two story Amazon rainforest exhibit called Irazu Falls. The exhibit was to include a massive waterfall pouring into a deep pool filled with hundreds of Amazon River fish. One of the major challenges in the creation of the exhibit was to find a Company that was capable of not only designing, building and installing a rainforest habitat, but also finding a Company that could build the product using fire retardant foliages.
initiatives:
Working closely with an exhibit fabricator, Commercial Silk International’s project team designed an entire “jungle themed” habitat using our extensive line of proprietary IFR™ artificial foliages. The design included the use of IFR™ Spanish Moss to replicate aerial roots growing from the limbs of a large fabricated tree. In addition, a grove of oriental bamboo and various tropical ground cover was used to create a dense, lush rainforest effect.
results:
We successfully designed, built and installed an entire rainforest habitat that passed the strict New Jersey fire code requirements. Our dedicated installation crew also completed the entire habitat installation in 3 days.
