Henson Robinson Zoo, African Penguin Exhibit

Satchell Engineering & Associates provided a Concept Design for the Henson Robinson Zoo, African Penguin Exhibit. Satchell Engineering & Associates concept design consisted of assessing the old aquatic Life Support System and providing a full written report on recommendations and goals for a renovated African Penguin Habitat.

In order to accommodate the increase the zoo wanted to make to the penguin population housed in the exhibit, Satchell Engineering & Associates proposed three design changes to the exhibit that involved reducing the volume of the current pool in order to increase the filtration rates of the exhibit. These design changes also included cost estimates and equipment additions to the existing life support systems to ensure these filtration rates were being met.
