Winning two awards, the Electric Eel really impressed ENR California, “the construction of SeaWorld’s Electric Eel roller coaster thrilled judges with the complex logistics of building a sky-high structure without the use of scaffolding.” Read more of what ENR wrote about The Electric Eel.

The use of base isolators with viscous dampers in the foundation did not go unnoticed on the Morris Hyman Critical Care Pavilion project.
