Le nekaj dni po koncu 14,7 milijona dolarjev vredne prenove odsevnega bazena pri Lincolnovem spomeniku v Washingtonu se je pojavila nova težava. Del modrega materiala na dnu bazena se je namreč začel luščiti, medtem ko se oblasti še vedno spopadajo tudi z algami, ki so znova obarvale vodo.

Del modrega materiala na dnu odsevnega bazena pri Lincolnovem spomeniku v Washingtonu se je začel luščiti le nekaj dni po tem, ko so bazen v okviru večmilijonske prenove, ki jo je odredil predsednik Donald Trump , prebarvali in znova napolnili z vodo.
Kot navaja CNN, za zdaj ni jasno, ali gre za barvo ali zaščitni premaz, prav tako ni znano, kaj je povzročilo odstopanje materiala.
Eddie Wood , lastnik podjetja Atlantic Industrial Coatings, ki je bilo najeto za prenovo bazena, je po ogledu fotografij in videoposnetkov za CNN dejal, da na njih ni dovolj informacij, da bi lahko natančno ocenil, za kaj gre.
Tim Auerhahn , strokovnjak za infrastrukturo bazenov in predsednik organizacije Aquatic Council, je prav tako opozoril, da je iz videoposnetkov težko ugotoviti, kaj povzroča "navidezno ločevanje premaza od podlage". Kot je pojasnil, lahko premaz odpove zaradi različnih razlogov, med drugim zaradi neustrezne priprave površine, pogojev nanašanja, težav z oprijemom, izbire materiala, mehanskih poškodb ali vplivov okolja.
Ključno vprašanje je po njegovih besedah, ali gre za osamljen primer ali za širšo težavo. "Če premaz izgublja oprijem na več mestih, bi to lahko nakazovalo resnejši problem," je opozoril.
Bazen preglavice povzroča že od same otvoritve
Gre sicer za zadnjo v vrsti težav, ki spremljajo znameniti bazen, odkar je Trump aprila odredil njegovo prenovo. Odsevni bazen, ki je že desetletja eden osrednjih elementov parka National Mall, se sicer s težavami z algami in puščanjem spopada skoraj od otvoritve pred približno stoletjem.
Administracija Baracka Obame je leta 2012 za 18-mesečno prenovo namenila 34 milijonov dolarjev (okoli 30 milijonov evrov), da bi odpravila dolgotrajne težave s cvetenjem alg. A kmalu po koncu del je voda znova postala motna in neprijetnega vonja, v bazenu pa so se spet pojavile alge, ptičji iztrebki in poginule race.
Trump je pozneje prav ta neuspeh uporabil v politične namene, ko je naročil novo prenovo in zahteval, da se dno bazena prebarva v odtenek modre, kot je na ameriški zastavi, piše CNN.
Prvotna ocena stroškov prenove je znašala 1,8 milijona dolarjev (1,57 milijona evrov). Po podatkih iz povzetka pogodbe ministrstva za notranje zadeve s podjetjem Atlantic Industrial Coatings pa so stroški projekta medtem narasli na 14,7 milijona dolarjev (12,86 milijona evrov).
Kljub prenovi pa so se znova pojavile težave. Kmalu po tem, ko so bazen v začetku meseca znova napolnili z vodo, so alge znova obarvale vodo. V začetku tedna so delavci v bazen vlivali vodikov peroksid in uporabili tehnologijo, ki jo je predstavnik ministrstva opisal kot "napredno tehnologijo nanomehurčkov". Kljub temu je bil v četrtek popoldne velik del bazena še vedno zelen, alge pa so bile jasno vidne, navaja CNN.
