When Infrastructure Meets Imagination

Chalk art brings the surface to life — Epoxytec safeguards what lies beneath.

Internationally known for his whimsical chalk art, David Zinn transforms ordinary sidewalks and manhole covers into imaginative worlds.

While David’s chalk installations are temporary, Epoxytec’s solutions are built to last. Our structural-grade epoxies and protective coatings are engineered to mitigate infiltration, resist chemical attack, and extend the service life of municipal infrastructure.

This September, David is teaming up with Epoxytec | Tnemec at WEFTEC to highlight the hidden infrastructure beneath our feet in a whole new way.

Most people walk past manhole covers and everyday infrastructure without a second glance. For David, those overlooked spaces are blank canvases—opportunities to create characters and stories that delight passersbiers.

At Epoxytec, we also focus on places that are often ignored: the underground collection systems that keep our communities running. While David’s art is temporary, our protective coatings and rehabilitation systems are designed to last—safeguarding the infrastructure below the surface.

Bringing David to WEFTEC 2025 is more than art. It’s a reminder of how the visible and invisible work together:

  • On the surface: David sparks imagination through his chalk art.
  • Beneath the surface: Epoxytec protects and restores critical infrastructure.

Both efforts take what is often overlooked and transform it into something worth noticing.

Join us to see David Zinn create live chalk installations, explore Epoxytec and Tnemec’s proven rehabilitation systems, and experience where infrastructure meets imagination!
