Horace E. Dodge and Son Memorial Fountain
Complete Renovation of Historical Memorial Fountain
-
FBWW was contacted to completely renovate this historical water feature that was built in 1978, and designed by Isamu Noguchi. The fountain had laid dormant for nearly a decade, before FBWW brought it back to life.

This project consisted of the following scope:
Waterproofing of the plaza and 60k gallon reservoir tank.
Complete demolition of existing equipment and plumbing.
Installation of brand new (up to 24") PVC plumbing lines.
Furnished and installed brand new fountain lights and controls.
Polishing of the stainless-steel panels.

FBWW was able to give this historical water feature a complete "face-lift" for the City of Detroit. This project was completed within six months, in preparation for the 2024 NFL draft that was hosted in Detroit, MI.
