INFRASTRUCTURE PRESERVATION
PRESERVING AN AMERICAN LANDMARK
WASHINGTON DC REFLECTING POOL REHABILITATION
Advanced protective coating technologies supporting long-term infrastructure preservation
A LEGACY WORTH PROTECTING
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT INSPIRES GENERATIONS
The Washington DC Reflecting Pool serves as one of the nation’s most iconic landmarks, welcoming millions of visitors each year while standing as a symbol of history, reflection, and public stewardship.
As part of the recent rehabilitation efforts, advanced protective coating and waterproofing technologies were selected to help restore, protect, and extend the service life of this important public asset.
Rhino Linings is proud to have supplied the protective coating technologies utilized within the rehabilitation project, contributing to a solution engineered for long-term durability, waterproofing performance, and infrastructure preservation.
This project demonstrates how modern protective coating systems can help extend the lifespan of aging infrastructure while reducing maintenance requirements and preserving public spaces for future generations.

PROTECTING INFRASTRUCTURE EXPOSED TO TIME
Large-scale public infrastructure faces constant challenges from environmental exposure, water intrusion, temperature fluctuations, and the natural aging of construction materials.
Advanced polyurea, epoxy, and elastomeric coating technologies were utilized to help meet these demanding performance requirements.
The rehabilitation of the Reflecting Pool required a waterproofing solution capable of:
✓ Protecting concrete substrates from water intrusion
✓ Accommodating thermal expansion and structural movement
✓ Delivering long-term durability under demanding conditions
✓ Providing a seamless waterproofing barrier
✓ Supporting long-term preservation objectives
