AQUATIC SYSTEMS
Sample of Design & Build - Miami Metro Zoo
• Design/Build LSS for aviary, aquarium and wetland lagoon.
Above and below: The Miami Metro Zoo, Wings of Asia was built to replace the one destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Diving and fish eating birds are frequently seen feeding on the self-sustaining population of fish throughout the wetland and river course.
The Life Support System design integrates natural processes with filtration equipment that meets the heavy nutrient load provided by a large bird population, fish and reptiles. The design of the LSS also met the strict water requirements for quality and clarity. Kristin designed the system, was responible for the shop drawings, was superintendant during LSS installation, performed system start-up and owner training. Edgewater now holds the contract with the County to provide LSS system repair as needed for all of Zoo Miami.
