Decorative Concrete International Award Winners - WOW Winner
The WOW Award was given to Bomanite of Southeast Asia, Manilla, Philippines for the Manila Zoo rehabilitation projectat the 15th Annual Decorative Concrete International Award ceremony.

Moreover, the Manilla Zoo is an existing zoo, so the animals had to be transferred one section at a time and rehabilitation work was completed in phases. For this project, Bomanite of Southeast Asia used a GFRC Pre Cast installation to simulate bamboo using a combination of customized yellow based color hardeners and stains to create the natural bamboo finish. The fabrication workshop was done inside the Zoo complex and used silicon molds and casted, natural bamboo. The result of the GFRC Precast installation created a
durable natural looking finish facade installation that covered most of the animal enclosures, fences, and gates.
