The work carried out at the Zoological Gardens of Monaco involved the suppling and laying of wooden flooring along the corridor that leads visitors to the pool of the hippopotamuses from the fauna centre. The wood chosen for this work was Accoya as it was able to further enhance the already excellent structure of this zoo in Montecarlo. In addition, the great strength of the wood chosen and its guarantee of lasting decades without special treatments make it the most suitable material for this use.
