Project Case Study

Six Flags Qiddiya City Stainless Steel Fountain Sculpture

A large-scale sculpture developed through close coordination between project representatives, designers and engineers—balancing structural safety, visual intent and material performance before fabrication began.

Project Overview

Resolving Complexity Before Production

Commercial discussions began in May 2023, followed by approximately nine months of coordination before fabrication started in March–April 2024.

The extended preparation period brought the key parties together around the same priorities: the engineers' requirements for gravity, wind and installation safety; the designers' expectations for appearance; and the client's budget and material decisions.

By resolving most technical questions before the workshop stage, the team reduced production risk and completed fabrication in approximately one month.

Why the Solution Worked

Our Advantages in Complex Sculpture Projects

The value was not only in fabrication. It came from resolving engineering, material and appearance questions early enough to make production faster and more predictable.

01

Early Engineering Coordination

Gravity, wind, connection details and installation safety were discussed with the project team before production, reducing the risk of costly changes in the workshop.

02

Reliable Material Strategy

The internal frame and exterior surface use 316 stainless steel. Embedded parts are stainless steel, while the base was upgraded from iron to 201 stainless steel.

03

Controlled Surface Quality

The brushed finish was adjusted and processed repeatedly across the large curved form, helping minimize visible interface traces and maintain a continuous appearance.

Client Factory Visit

Progress and Quality Verified in Person

Client representatives and engineers visited the factory several times to review production progress, discuss details and confirm quality during fabrication.

Project Feedback

The Finished Sculpture in Its Destination

Installation feedback shows the completed stainless steel sculpture in the Qiddiya City environment. The finished work retains the intended flowing form and presents a consistent brushed-metal surface at full scale.
