Scope Of Work

Commissioned in 1908, Baltimore Harbor Light was the last lighthouse constructed on the Chesapeake Bay, and the most challenging to build. From the time the original request for funding was made by the Lighthouse Board, in 1890, it would be eighteen years before the light was commissioned. The final cost of construction was well more than triple the amount originally requested. The light served the harbor for over 90 years and was in extreme disrepair. In 2006, the Baltimore Light was offered at auction and purchased by a group of private citizens who went to work to restore this grand old light.

The new owners of the light wanted to stop the water leaks and also provide a safe walking surface on the upper deck. They contacted Acry-Tech and discussed the benefits of Soft Tread for creating a safe walkway around the light, even in inclement weather.

Acry-Tech suggested a vigorous surface preparation regimen including pressure washing, caulking and priming the surface. Once the preparation was complete, two coats of Soft Tread was rolled onto the decking in 2008. The result is a safe, non slip surface for foot traffic, even when some of the visitors aren’t wearing shoes! The Soft Tread is bare foot friendly while providing great traction when wet.

Plus... the deck no longer leaks and the “Cellar” is nice and dry.
