The Electric Eel is not just another thrilling roller coaster. After a series of loops and twists, the SeaWorld attraction pulls riders up an 150-ft-high ascent where they have an upside-down view of picturesque Mission Bay, then rocks them forward and backward as they speed through the coaster’s station house. The thrills increase as the ride reaches a top speed of 62 mph and becomes the fastest, as well as the tallest, roller coaster in San Diego.
But what makes the Electric Eel really unique is a 450-sq-ft educational exhibit located at its base that contains a live eel habitat and a collection of moray eels.
该项目是由PGAV目的地设计的，由Rudolph and Sletten建造，EDM Inc.担任结构工程师，还创建了一个1,130平方英尺的骑行站，830平方英尺的维护区和100平方英尺的储物柜。空间。
The project team, charged with building the coaster in the middle of a busy theme park, worked on a fast-track schedule. Locating existing utilities such as gas, 12-kv power, sewer, storm drains and fiber optics required extensive exploratory work. Because SeaWorld itself was built in the mid-1960s, the maps of utilities and the park’s as-built documents were not up to date or accurate.
为了找到和保护现有的地下公用事业，工作人员使用真空卡车吸收顶部土壤，以避免铲子和重型设备的潜在损坏。
“真空去除顶部的土壤确保了我们的公用事业罢工或中断，使我们能够激光扫描并创建所有现有公用事业的3D模型，”鲁道夫（Rudolph）和Sletten Project Execudef说。“我们使用该模型避免冲突并确定现有实用程序内的安装顺序。”
海洋世界与海洋的距离意味着地下土壤液化是需要关注的另一个问题。为了满足严格的地震和静态沉降标准，工程师设计了一种基础改善解决方案，该解决方案利用水泥深层土壤混合（CDSM）。机组人员安装了200多个6英尺高的圆柱，低至40英尺。互锁的水泥柱形成了基金会周围的障碍物，以支撑11,000平方英尺的垫子基础板。
While working around the noise and confusion of a busy theme park, the project team maintained an impeccable safety record. Rudolph and Sletten used its experience with other SeaWorld projects to develop a comprehensive jobsite safety plan that resulted in a perfect safety record—zero accidents from the project’s groundbreaking in Sept. 2017 to its early completion in May 2018.
在架设脚手架和设计一种方法来保护公园游客免受电动鳗鱼打开后可能会掉落的物体的方法时，安全性尤为重要。
Typically, scaffolding systems are attached to the structure under construction. But in the case of the 150-ft-tall Electric Eel tower, no structure existed to secure scaffolding, so the team used OSHA-approved cranes to carry workers in basket cages to reach the tower. There they installed, inspected and tested bolts, connections and other structural features. Next, specialty ironworkers scaled the roller coaster like rock climbers to tighten and paint every bolt at every connection.
为了保护骑行之下的公园游客，鲁道夫和斯莱滕建造了结构，以捕获掉落的物体，例如手机和水瓶。
Comandante说：“与建筑师合作，创建了轨迹模型，并使用了准确的备用图纸来制定一项计划，以保护骑行附近的行人。”
He says the team also performed live tests to see where items would land if dropped from the ride accidently. Based on those tests, the contractor developed a plan using the geometry of the roller coaster, the location of surrounding facilities and the expected path the public would travel around and under the ride.
解决问题的解决方案是安装“松散网络网”，该安装被固定在支撑结构上。Comandante说：“一家专业制造商是为了满足拉伸强度，开口和耐候性要求的保护性网络制造而采购的。”
鲁道夫和民心的使用专业的软件程序vide detailed plans for each net, saving time by eliminating the need to verify dimensions in the field. And because some of the netting structures were outside the project boundaries, that portion of the work was performed before and after regular park hours.
