The solution
Dellner Romag supplied two sections of 30mm thick toughened laminated low iron glass for the floor of a new bridge spanning the Tomistoma crocodile enclosure. The largest crocodile in the enclosure is an impressive 3.6m and weighs 150kg. Visitors crossing the bridge will be able to look through toughened glass that maintains its clarity while being protected by a structure strong enough to withstand the weight of several people at one time.
The result
The new glass floor of the bridge gives visitors a close encounter experience like none other in the UK. Not only is the floor a unique visitor attraction, it gives visitors an opportunity to view and learn about the behaviour of the rare and endangered crocodiles.
