The LYNX Bus Stops/Art Shelters on International Drive in Orlando are the first public structure approved by our local building department, made completely of composite material.  In order to achieve this advancement in building materials, Entech designed and conducted structural testing to demonstrate the structures met code requirements and were safe for public use.

In recognition of this achievement, the American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA) Awarded Entech Creative Industries and Walt Geiger Studios the 2012 ACE Award for Design: Most Creative Application.

The Entech Creative and Walt Geiger Studios Collaborative are excited about the part they have paid in advancing the acceptance of composite materials in construction.  As composites are increasingly accepted, architects and designers will have more choices at their disposal to express their visions due to the unique properties of these materials.

Behold, the unveiling of SeaWorld San Diego’s beautiful “Blue Horizons” set. Engineered and built by Entech Creative Industries, under the direction of the Sea World San Diego team including Stan Myer, Darlene Walter and Scott Helmstedter. Entech Creative Industries is proud to have engineered and built this masterpiece; including the stage show set pieces, the wave forms, the lift system and the bridges.

“Blue Horizons”, a spectacular, innovative show unites sea and sky as it showcases majestic animals and spirited performers. The show features energetic bottlenose dolphins, magnificent pilot whales, a colorful array of exotic birds and amazing acrobatic performers. It is set in SeaWorld San Diego’s completely renovated Dolphin Stadium.

The Entech team developed a number of innovative techniques in constructing the set work which has significant performance demands upon it including the special needs of a marine environment.  Notably is the fabrication of the translucent wave forms. Using a translucent FRP material, Entech developed a special stiffening system for the panels that permitted the panels to be fabricated much more quickly and efficiently employing the use of CNC Waterjet pattern cutting.

“Only SeaWorld could create such a spectacular concept, a type of show that can be seen nowhere else in the world,” said the nationally acclaimed set designer, Stanley Meyer, responsible for the design of the “Blue Horizons” set.   “It sets a completely new benchmark for awe-inspiring entertainment.” Meyer, best known for his work designing the Broadway musical ”Beauty and the Beast,” created the set for SeaWorld Orlando’s “Blue Horizons,” which has been a hit with audiences there since 2005.

Using elements of the sea and sky — and a young girl’s vivid imagination — as his inspiration, Meyer designed a whimsical, yet dramatic, atmosphere with an immense rising sun, hundreds of iridescent bubbles, and an elaborate, 40-foot-high framework which envelopes the pool and balances divers and aerialists as they plunge from bungees and soar on “cloud swings.” While these characters sway through the sky and dive off the set, the true stars of the show grace the waters below.

Entech is honored to have been a valuable part of the dream team in bringing this imagination to life so that people can enjoy it every day.

On November 5, 2009, Entech Creative opened its doors for a GreenHouse open house where technological and environmental initiatives were brought together for a meet and greet social event. This open house, the second Entech has hosted this year, demonstrated our commitment to incorporating more green practices in our business, specifically our IMPACT (I Made Planet Affecting Choices Today) initiatives.

Guests toured Entech’s facilities and interacted with a lifelike talking Actroid courtesy of Entech’s partner Kokoro Company Ltd., website: http://kokoro-dreams.co.jp a company of Sanrio Group. Presentations were given by area businesses and organizations, many of whom have an environmental focus.

The evening was rounded out with great food and drinks, including sushi handmade at the event by Eiji Ogiyama, Manager of Robot Technology for Kokoro.

We believe our GreenHouse event was a great success, and we’d like to thank our guests, partners and speakers who helped make it happen.

In conjunction with our new IMPACT initiative, Entech will be hosting a “GREEN” open house on November 5th, 2009. Expect a technology, meet, greet, and social green hour featuring several of our green initiative partners, sharing their advice and experience. Our last open house was a booming success, with over 160 attendees and 13 technology partner participant companies.

Again, expect the best to showcase their technologies: Unique Image, Monster Media, DNP studios, Beloved, Wendy Wallenberg, etc.

But we know what you really like, so don’t worry. Tunes, drinks, and eats are on the house! November 5th is just around the corner, so make sure you don’t miss this opportunity and mark your calendars!
