Construction of the Pinnipeds pavilion of the Moscow Zoo

Report from the construction site

The construction of a unique complex for keeping pinnipeds in the Moscow Zoo has entered its final phase. Five pools with a depth of up to 7 meters and a total volume of more than 9,500 cubic meters have already been filled with water.

Very soon, spacious aviaries, huge pools with underwater glazing and artificial wave will welcome the first sea creatures.

Recall that in 2018-2019, Aqua Logo Engineering specialists designed a water treatment system for the Pinnipeds pavilion of the Moscow Zoo. Together with PIK Group, we are bringing this project to life.
