The North Carolina Zoo Rocky Coast Exhibit depicts the rocky coasts of the Pacific Northwest and features a variety of animals, including their Polar Bear exhibit. Satchell Engineering & Associates were hired to perform an evaluation of the pre-existing freshwater habitat and upon inspection we discovered areas in need of improvement.
We converted the freshwater exhibit into a saltwater exhibit to provide more enjoyment for the animals. Satchell Engineering & Associates redesigned the aquatic Life Support System for this exhibit. We focused our efforts into improving the hydraulics for the overall system, developing aa saltwater recovery system, and repairing leaks within the pre-existing system to save the zoo over.
