This P-Tn Time-Lapse was a long time in the making. The Kansas City ZOO Sobela Ocean Aquarium project got underway back in 2021, and celebrated its Grand Opening this September! P-Tn installed a ProgressWEBCAM Site Monitoring System shortly after site clearing, when grading and excavation work was underway. We’ve been patiently monitoring construction site activities throughout the build, capturing daily images and editing a P-Tn Time-Lapse Video of the entire build. The end result yields an ...

Aside from the obvious - construction progress updating from the air - analysis of general site conditions, movement of delivered supplies, available storage for future material arrivals, and periodic ...

Remembering that day inside the Arch probably has more impact now than it did when I was actually experiencing it as a teenager. A series of ... Read More about P-Tn PROFESSIONAL HISTORY
