Description
The National September 11th Memorial, the project explored through this course, incorporates waterfalls and water walls of tremendous scale. The landscape architects involved in its production utilized the most current technology available for fountain operation and data acquisition. The construction of these waterfalls and the different trades that had to be coordinated, as well as intricate weir design, parapet changes and more, are discussed in detail.
The course can be delivered upon request with a 2-3 week advance notice. The course can be delivered to 45 people. Please contact april@deltafountains.com for more information and to set up a training course.

Learning Outcomes
Participants will be given a behind the scenes tour of the world’s most costly water features and will understand many of the challenges facing unique displays. The details provided will make the participant much more aware of the steps that need to be taken in schematic, design development and construction documentation, which will allow them to provide their clients more accurate fee proposals for these types of systems.
The importance of mock ups is discussed in detail, with images of actual mock ups and the changes they went through, in order to be able to move forward with construction. The participant will be more in tune with the need to discuss this necessary component with the client, when deciding on whether or not to incorporate a fountain into the design.
Many examples of custom fabrications are shown to the participants, along with their unique applications. The purpose is to let them see not only how intricate some features can become, but that products can be made to accomplish unusual fountains, where no off the shelf items can be found to do so.
