It was a project which everyone at Pucuda-Leading Edge was proud to participate in. All of the elements of the museum redesign were beautifully conceived and executed, blending together in an immersive learning experience for children. When the structures at Port Discovery’s playscape were finally completed, it was a great example of teamwork in all phases of the project. This is a partially wheelchair accessible elevated area, which features soft play opportunities for people with disabilities. In addition to manufacturing and installing all climbing and barrier netting in the Climber Unit, Pucuda was also responsible for all the netting and activities in The Think Tank.

#Port discovery install
Pucuda was carrying out the climb netting install while electricians, painters and flooring specialists were doing their jobs. Steel workers were assembling the skyclimber structure even as carpenters were building a ship that is the centerpiece of the interactive port in the museum. On location at Port Discovery, where a huge remodeling effort was underway, there were many contractors involved in different phases of the project. When we are brought in during the design phase of a project, we are able to give input and advice which makes a project more successful for everyone.Īfter looking at prototype models for sections of the Roto units we were able to advise attachment locations and methods before fabrication of the structure started. This is our preferred way to work with a client. Roto involved us during the project’s conceptual design phase: in particular those elements which involved our climb netting. Pucuda was brought into the project because of our experience and knowledge regarding climbing net structures. Based in Dublin, Ohio, Roto is a full service design and manufacturing firm, specializing in exhibits for museums, science centers and other attractions. In this situation we were involved as a subcontractor to the firm Roto. This year Pucuda was engaged to design, manufacture and install a climbing net system at Port Discovery Childrens Museum in Baltimore, MD.
