Project Overview
Expo Dino Exhibition
HC Dinosaur produced a 35-unit animatronic dinosaur exhibition for an international trade convention at a Paris convention center — the largest single order in this project portfolio. The display covered more than 2,000 square meters with moving, roaring dinosaurs arranged across themed zones: a Cretaceous forest, a marine reptile section, and a dramatic Tyrannosaurus rex battle scene designed to draw crowds for a major industry expo. Every unit was built to travel: modular construction, quick-connect electrical systems, and packaging engineered for standard shipping containers. HC Dinosaur managed the complete logistics chain, on-site assembly in under ten days, bilingual technical documentation for the French contractor, and a coordinated dismantling and re-export plan when the event concluded. The exhibition opened on schedule and operated flawlessly for its full 12-day run. Beyond the exhibition itself, HC Dinosaur supplied 12 multilingual information kiosks, a coordinated opening-day media event with timed animatronic reveals, and round-the-clock on-call technical support for the duration of the event. Post-event teardown and container loading were completed in four days, with full condition reports issued for every unit.
Engineering Behind the Build
Challenges & Solutions
Delivering 35 large animatronics to a live trade event required military-grade coordination: a ten-day assembly window, strict loading-dock schedules, and crane access constraints inside a convention hall. HC Dinosaur solved this with a kit-based design where each dinosaur arrives in numbered crates and can be erected by a trained crew without heavy lifting equipment. Fire and electrical compliance for the venue required localized power distribution and certified cabling, all documented in French and English. The exhibition opened on schedule and operated flawlessly for its full 12-day run.
