Dallas Zoo - Savanna Shade Structure
New deep foundations, structural framing , roofing elements, and rustic fencing
Construction of a new 40 foot diameter shade structure within the Giants of the Savanna exhibit at the Dallas Zoo. Located inside of the zoo on an island accessible only by bridges provided unique challenges on this project. Extensive coordination with structural engineers were required to ensure we were not overloading existing infrastructure during the construction. New piers, structural steel columns, pressure treated framing and decking and synthetic thatch roofing were installed. Buckaloo located and hired a muralist to provide a wood-look theme to the columns. New rustic cedar fencing installed at the entire perimeter of the structure.
