About Project

The St. Louis Zoo began as a part of the 1904 World’s Fair and has served as one of the region’s main tourist destinations for more than a century.

An estimated 3 million people visit the site in Forest Park each year. A main attraction in the zoo is Hippo Landing which is home to four Nile hippos. In 2018, TIC completed a project to renovate the hippo pool.

The scope of work included ultra high pressure water jetting to remove all existing coatings, using a surfacing compound to fill any spalled areas and cracks, and applying a new polyurea liner.
