MOSCOW, Dec. 8, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The world's tallest cylinder aquarium
was recently revealed to the public at the new Avia Park Shopping Center in
Moscow. The aquarium, designed and built by International Concept Management
(ICM), is a staggering 23 meters tall and is viewable from all four levels of
Europe's largest shopping center.

With millions of annual visitors, the intent of the aquarium was to enhance the
shoppers' experience and serve as a focal point for the mall - and ICM
delivered. "From a visual standpoint, looking up at a freestanding water column
this tall, is truly awe-inspiring," said Andrius Vengalis, Project Manager for
ICM. "This new aquarium will serve as a focal point for not only the shopping
center and its visitors, but also the community."
The aquarium holds 370,000 liters of saltwater and nearly 2,500 fish. Due to the
extreme depths of the tank, it is necessary for divers to make multiple
decompression stops. The exhibitry, which replicates the Red Sea, houses
multiple platforms for the divers to take such precautions.
ICM was the turnkey contractor on the project - that included everything from
concept design; to designing, sourcing, and installing the reef in the tank for
a safe and functional environment for the livestock; selecting and sourcing fish
that successfully cohabitate; and providing the lighting and filtration systems
for the aquarium. ICM will provide ongoing operations and maintenance.
The exterior of the aquarium is 23 meters tall and 6 meters in diameter. The
aquarium shell consists of 55 metric tons of acrylic, provided by Reynolds
Polymer Technology. This aquarium not only broke world records, but was a
monumental success for ICM as well. Nathan Reynolds, VP of Operations, remarked,
"Each of our projects take on a special meaning to the team, and this one will
stand out as an excellent example of what we can achieve when challenged by a
client. The project turned out exactly as we envisioned it and will certainly
establish itself as a landmark within a beautiful mall in Moscow, Russia!"
