America’s infrastructure GPA stands at a D+, with an estimated $3.6 trillion of work needed by 2020 to repair the country’s out-of-date structures, bridges, roads, etc.¹ Part of these issues lie within public parks and recreation, which are being used by a reported 140 million Americans on a daily basis.

Recently, the city of Houston attempted to repair subgrade overflow basins for its public pools to provide better assets to the community. These basins needed to be coated to protect from potential corrosion and to prevent water leaks. After multiple failed attempts to find a reliable coating, the city turned to Evergreen National, an authorized Rhino Linings^® applicator, to provide a long-term waterproofing solution that would truly and safely seal and prevent leaks for years to come.
