The Living Planet Aquarium in Utah recently tapped a pair of firms for the construction of its new aquarium. According to AttractionsManagement.com, the $18-million building will be a significant upgrade from its current location. While the current location covers 43,000 square feet, the new aquarium will span about 130,000.

"The new board, consisting of seasoned executives, is excited with the tremendous progress made by the aquarium in the last two years," board chair Ragula Bhaskar told the news source.

Building an aquarium is no small task - in addition to all of the challenges that come with any project, plenty of extra work will have to go into putting together viewing tanks and special staging areas, which is why it may be a good idea for firms to shore up their construction equipment through IronPlanet before taking on the job. With a number of auctions going up every week, it's easy to find an item, whether it be a crane, dump truck or backhoe loader.
