Mike Sylvester of CCI Construction hangs by ropes to reinforce stone blocks at the base of Graves Light.
We started the stabilization and restoration of weathered stone at the base of Graves Light, using modern techniques to revive the original.
In this picture, Mike Sylvester of CCI Construction is suspended 80 feet as he works to reinforce blocks of stone fragmented by a century of tidal action.
Mike’s drilling holes in the damaged stone, inserting epoxy and stainless steel bolts to reinforce the blocks, then covering the holes with grout.
We made the grout with crushed granite from the very same Rockport quarry that provided the original stone to build Graves Light in 1903.
