The first floor of the aquarium is mainly occupied by water

The design and construction of the aquarium is different from ordinary exhibition buildings. This particularity is mainly reflected in the technology and equipment of the exhibits and the maintenance of the exhibits. Most of the building space of the Ocean Hall is occupied by equipment (approximately 10% of the total building area).

In addition to the power distribution, cooling, fire protection, ventilation, and lighting systems required for general buildings, the most important equipment system is the water treatment system (including the living system). The first floor of the aquarium is mainly occupied by water bodies, such as performance pools, swimming pools, shark ponds, whale ponds, protection ponds, storage ponds, fire ponds, etc.

In addition, the cleanliness, temperature, depth, and composition required by various parts of the water body (mainly seawater and freshwater) vary widely, so they are widely used in water treatment. Mechanical and electrical systems form the main body of equipment and technology in the Ocean Hall. Marine animal protection and medical treatment are also necessary facilities to be considered in the marine museum project. For different animals and diseases, the protection tanks must be separated, and even separate isolation tanks must be established. The location of the animal hospital is very important.

Not only does it need to maintain the isolation of the Ocean Hall, but it is also convenient and quick. Therefore, it is necessary to set up an underground passage between the three areas of animal exhibition and performance, conservation and medical treatment, and reasonably design and configure the circulation, elevation and water quality of the water body in the passage. Animal exhibitions require a lot of transparent materials, which not only have good transparency, transparency, and small deformation, but also can withstand huge water pressure. The wall and column marine animal exhibits generally have two to three layers of height and huge water pressure. This requires the exhibits to have a wall thickness greater than 0.5m.
