 ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS / ANWERS - INFORMATION

1. Existent cladding
- On the interior wall of the building > (left side of the building)
- Suggestion is to remove all existent cladding.
- New hydrofuge wall need to be add on places where there is water.

2. Steel beams
- Has to taking off > or fixed higher in the building ?
- See with ir. Stability if they can be removed.

3. Back door to the backstage

Need to be smaller (standard > 2 doors of 1m.)
Now > 6m.
Proposal > We add a wall in front and create a new opening of the 2 doors 1m.
Like this way we don’t damage the gate.
 ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS / ANWERS - INFORMATION

4. All walls nearby the water >

Need to be waterproof and strong.
a. Proposal > Schluter- Kerdi Board. (reading construction manual) Part no waterfall
b. Concrete wall (8.90m high) Part Waterfall
c Need to be verified with engineer

5. Proposal for additional sun- Light.

* Vacalux Skytube. UV bulbs for animals and trees.

6. Thickness of concrete slab.

We will need to put out some parts to add trees and / or construction areas.

7. M³ water Filtration:
1. Croc:
2. Otters :
3. Turtles (big pond):
4. Touch Pool: 25m³
Filtration 4 x ( > study technical engineer)
 ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS / ANWERS - INFORMATION

8. Backstages animals:
need to be constructed under the existent structure outside. ( see plan > ‘BACKSTAGE’)
+ Area for the Keepers.
+ Area for all Technical needs.

All spaces need to be approved by technical engineers.

9. Filtration:
There are 4 different Filtrations needed:
1. Crocodile (including waterfall)
2. Otter
3. Touch pool
4. Big pond.

All ponds need to be developed with deep suction and surface skimming. Water flow needs to
reach the whole pool to avoid dead angles with stagnant water.
Please check with your hydraulic engineer for proper placement of water inlets and outlets.
 ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS / ANWERS - INFORMATION

10.Filtration needs to exist out of:

• Bio tower
• UV disinfection
• Ozone generator
• Protein skimmer
• Mechanical filtration (sand or glass) including drum filter
• Degassing tower.

Please verify with your hydraulic engineer the size of filters needed based on the volume of water.
Also see with your hydraulic engineer where to place the filtration as no area inside the house is
available due to lack of space.
Avoid chlorine as the water will have different species in and on the water and it can be potentially
dangerous for several species (particularly fish, reptiles and birds) including loss of life.
Visibility should be clear water as there is underwater viewing in different areas.
 ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS / ANWERS - INFORMATION

a) Our team advises to contact a specialized filtration company in order not to make any mistakes.

b) All concrete slab in/ or around water need to be waterproof Hydrofuge

c) No use of polyurethane or other soft materials. (only concrete / hard material)

d) It is crucial to have engineering professionals check and assess technical aspects.

Engineers possess the expertise and knowledge required to evaluate and ensure the safety,
efficiency, and functionality of technical systems and processes.
Their expertise helps identify potential issues, mitigate risks, and optimize performance. Engaging
engineers in technical evaluations is a standard practice to maintain quality and reliability into this
project.

We trust the professionality of the engineering team of ‘SELA’ to follow up the project.
 ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS / ANWERS - INFORMATION

11. Light intensity:

- The project needs 200 Lux.

12. Technical specifications:

- Temperature inside: 25 Celsius during the day
- 20 Celsius at night (if possible)
- Humidity:30-50% is ok (to avoid condense on the glass if too humid.
- Sprinklers activated at night to clean and water trees and to mimick tropical forest for the
animals. 2 x 30 minutes to start and then see if it is ok. Staff can adjust according to needs
 ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS / ANWERS - INFORMATION

13. Ceiling of interior project:

- Placement of tension cables from opposite walls (front – back)
- Following the height of pipes.
- On tension cables we put on top “Zoomesh RA230” (Rope aviary) attaching on tension cables.

14. Cameras:
- Cameras need to be present in all angles to observe all animals / visitors

15. Structural engineer of bridge:

- Need to be calculated of possibility to hang the bridge on the roof (metal) structure.
- If not possible, metal round column needs to be placed.
