Fabritecture was contracted to design an architectural roof cover for the Dugongs floating exhibit pool at Sydney Wildlife World. The award-winning design had to incorporate a similar, open curved profile, to the main urban zoo roof structure. The development posed unique challenges for surveying and installation, with no access for cranes or equipment. Each component were designed and constructed for manual handling, requiring the use of two deployment cables, running the entire length of the structure. The assembled arches were fixed to the deployment cables via chain and pulleys, and moved into final position over the pool. The revolutionary structure is supported by a complex grid of cables and customised components.
