The challenge was working around the existing high voltage transformer which was not feasible to move with the citys budget. The scope included the dismantle and removal of existing retaining wall and accessible ramp.
Morey also reconstructed the retaining wall with geotextile tie backs as per engineered drawings, and poured a new concrete accessible ramp with tactile wanring strips. Finally the existing railing was salvaged and reinstalled.

Twelve historic windows underwent a meticulous restoration process, beginning with stripping windows down to the bare wood. Any signs of deterioration were promptly addressed through sash repairs and the installation of new sills where necessary. Sections afflicted by rot underwent dutchman repairs, and to maintain authenticity, historically correct glass was salvaged from another restoration project and installed to match the existing panes. Finally, a precise repaint was executed to blend the restored windows with their surroundings, preserving the architectural heritage.

Our work was completed from a 185’ aerial man lift with full pedestrian protection in place below. We then utilized a slightly smaller 150’ articulated boom to perform slate repairs, completed by a heritage roofing sub contractor, as well as installing 36 pins into a buttress where vertical cracking questioned the structural integrity.
