            KENNETT SQUARE, PA – Outside the Lines (OTL), a design-build construction company that specializes in creating one-of-a-kind water features, rockwork and themed environments, has completed a consulting project on the $90 million highly complex renovation of the historic 83-year-old spectacular Main Fountain Garden at Philadelphia’s Longwood Gardens.

            The renovation project, which began in 2014, encompassed the cleaning and repair of 4,000 pieces of carved Italian limestone, the construction of approximately 1,400 feet of underground tunnels, and the enhancement of Longwood’s Main Fountain Garden, including 1,340 new jets and streams, 30 new flame nozzles, and 1,389 new LED lights.

“OTL served as a consultant as part of an extensive team that worked to modernize and reinvigorate this project while preserving its original character and intent,” says J. Wickham Zimmerman, Chief Executive Officer of OTL.

“OTL was chosen for this complex assignment based on our team’s expertise with design and construction of complicated show fountains, and our role on this project was primarily focused on constructability.

“In other words, we helped bridge the gap between a fantastic design, created by the dream team assembled by Longwood Gardens, and the construction, helping to ensure that the design team’s vision was delivered. 

“We helped the project team deliver a breathtaking outdoor spectacular that upholds Longwood Gardens’ long-standing position as a must-see destination in the world of elite water gardens,” he added.

            OTL worked with general contractor Bancroft Construction and world-renowned water feature designer Fluidity Design Consultants in order to help bring the renovation project to life.
