In 2015 Hampden Fence was re-approached by the team at Auckland Zoo to assist with another specialist animal enclosure project: the fabrication and installation of an exotic bird holding area within the new exotic bird aviaries.
Hampden was engaged to fabricate the steelwork for the enclosure using its in-house fabrication capabilities, which the Zoo has used extensively on previous other projects.
Hampden had regular contact with main contractor Q Construction, the Zoo and its keepers, to detail the design as it developed and evolved. This ensured the end result was fit for purpose and exactly what the Zoo required:
Custom fabricated steel enclosure framing
Specialist bird netting
Lockable swing gates to match the overall aesthetics of the enclosure
Installation management
