01 Upfront Planning & Review

Planning 01

It all begins with examining the existing site infrastructure and gathering all required information to create a solid project plan; establishing project costs, schedules and providing assistance with real operating budgets to avoid costly overruns and delays later on. Based on the findings, the master plan is developed as a buildable concept.

02 Product Design & Engineering

Design 02

ADG offers a comprehensive design and equipment package encompassing all your specialized aquatic attractions. This inclusive package comprises essential documents and drawings, providing you with a visual representation of your attractions' appearance and a clear comprehension of their interrelation & integration within the overall park layout.

03 Project Cost Analysis & Budgeting

Construction 03

Upon finalizing the project design, ADG will provide you with a transparent, fixed-cost quotation covering all aquatic features outlined in the plan. This quotation encompasses mechanical, infrastructure, and foundational requirements, offering you a comprehensive understanding of the project's expenditure. No unexpected surprises (or costs!).

04 Project Build

Throughout the project's construction, you will have a designated on-site Project Manager devoted to overseeing every facet of your aquatic program. This commitment commences from the project's inception, ensuring seamless communication among all stakeholders. The outcome is a timely & budget-conscious delivery that aligns with your expectations.
