The Challenge

Working above sharks is not your everyday scaffold job, but when SEA Life at the Mall of America needed to repair and inspect structural columns, they faced a unique challenge: the work zone was directly above an active aquarium exhibit. To work around this obstacle, Infinity Scaffold was brought in to engineer a safe, clean, and non-invasive access solution—one that protected workers, the structure, and the marine environment below.

our solution

• Suspension from existing steel beams using non-abrasive clamps/hooks that prevented coatings from chipping and falling into the water
• Clean, new equipment to eliminate the risk of contaminating the water
• A raft-based installation process, allowing the crew to work safely above the exhibit
• Minimal impact on the habitat, maintaining full containment of tools and materials
