Tucked away in the middle of the Gulf Coast, the Houston Audubon manages over 4,000 acres of habitat dedicated to conservation, education, and leaving a positive environmental impact.
We were provided an incredible opportunity to fabricate an elevated walkway for birdwatchers to use as a walkway through High Island Sanctuary.
Many challenges accompanied the project, including a swampy landscape, global pandemic, and a strict deadline to avoid interfering with migration patterns. Despite these challenges, our team utilized our deep knowledge and communication to ensure every detail, down to each nut and bolt, contributed to a structurally sound, yet beautiful piece of architecture.
The walkway was constructed with weathering steel that will age well over time and maintain its integrity, ensuring the legacy of conservancy and environmental care that will last for many generations.
