New Chemical Storage Tanks Installation

After assisting the Sanitary District of Michigan City in their purchase of two new chemical storage tanks to house their ferric chloride solution, Haas & Associates designed the plans necessary for building modifications involving doorways, ceiling, lighting, heating and ventilation facilities, stairways and equipment and piping to accommodate the installation of the two previously delivered chemical storage tanks as well as the piping and reinforced concrete work associated with the chemical tanks.

Washington Park Zoo
Observation Tower Rehabilitation

Washington Park Zoo was started in 1925, and the Observation Tower was built in the mid 1930’s. The Tower is one of the buildings in the Zoo that is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is made from a steel railroad tower faced with limestone; its roof is topped with a spherical ornament purported to be a compression chamber from the City’s first fire engine.

This project included the repair and restoration of the interior and exterior of the Tower, trying to keep it as close as possible to the original design. It also included installing new security fencing; reconstruction and rehabilitation of path and access drives; construction of a new pathway; construction of limestone access drives; expanding the audio system; and construction of a new video system within the Washington Park Zoo property.
