The rehabilitation process integrated a multi-layered approach to material science, combining epoxy priming technology with elastomeric waterproofing systems. By creating a durable, monolithic seal, contractors aimed to address substrate movement and the constant stress of water exposure that typically compromises large-scale public assets. According to Pierre Gagnon, President and CEO of Rhino Linings, the installation serves as a benchmark for how modern chemical applications can extend the service life of critical monuments while significantly reducing ongoing maintenance cycles.

Rhino Linings Completes Waterproofing of D.C. Reflecting Pool
The Washington DC Reflecting Pool has undergone a major structural restoration, utilizing specialized protective coatings from Rhino Linings Corporation. As the nation’s iconic landmark faced degradation from environmental exposure and water intrusion, the project sought to implement a seamless, high-performance barrier capable of ensuring long-term infrastructure preservation.
This project highlights a broader trend in North American infrastructure management, where the focus has shifted toward proactive preservation over costly reconstruction. By deploying these advanced polyurea and polyurethane coatings, stakeholders have established a protective shell designed to withstand decades of use. The company plans to release further technical data regarding the project’s application methods and the specific performance metrics of the materials used in the coming months.
