•    Project must be completed, and OSHA safety standards maintained while the lighthouse remained open to the public.

The Project was completed in 5 weeks and entailed removing failed coatings without disturbing the integrity of the 150 year old mortar and brick. Surface had to be prepped, sealed and recoated from a 150’ tall high reach and had to be completed without having any impact on the brick walkways so that the lighthouse could remain open to the public.

The coating project was performed by EISI’s specially trained, certified coatings division following OSHA safety guidelines.

Safety concerns were a high priority due to the special aspects identified and planned for during pre-bid evaluation.
