Humberside Galvanizing successfully completed the galvanizing of over 4.5 tonnes of steelwork used in the construction of a magnificent new rhino house at Yorkshire's Flamingo Land Theme Park.
MA Fabrications of Pickering, North Yorkshire, carried out the steel work for both enclosures, which included the fabrication of a variety of structures including cage fronts, walkways, penning and security fencing.
Director Mike Agar comments: 'The contract was one of our biggest and most demanding projects yet, with a rapid and flexible response required from the galvanizing contractor to meet tight schedules.
Humber Galvanizing was able to meet our requirements with a consistently high standard of product, backed up by a quality, professional service.' Humber's Commercial Manager Tony Linsley adds: 'We have recently invested in an extension to our storage facility in order to significantly increase the speed of delivery and collection times for customers.
With our excellent existing process facilities, and the addition of twice as much space to accept deliveries and store completed galvanized items ready for collection, Humber Galvanizing was available to offer an express service to MA Fabrications.' Flamingo Land Theme Park and Zoo is the fourth most visited theme park in Britain and its new rhino house and refurbished big cat enclosure form part of an imaginative new 'Lost Kingdom' development at its North Yorkshire site.
The rhino house is home to two powerful white rhinos, while the completely rebuilt big cat enclosure incorporates vastly improved viewing facilities including an overhead walkway for zoo visitors.
Flamingo Land is home to over 1000 animals such as tigers, zebras, camels, monkeys, sea lions, reptiles and penguins, and the zoo operates a special breeding programme for endangered species.
It is also famous for its pink flamingos, the largest flock in the United Kingdom.
