Cintec North America Installs Cementitious Grout Anchors to Stabilize Staircase
North American firm helps with stabilization effort on lighthouse staircase
Cintec North America announces its cementitious grout anchors were used in a project for the stabilization of the deteriorating staircase in the Morris Island Lighthouse, located on Morris Island, South Carolina.
The lighthouse was opened in 1876 and decommissioned in 1962. The structure is 49 meters and 161 feet tall. The lighthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. After the decommissioning, the circular staircase was showing advanced deterioration due to the salt air environment. There was a real fear that the staircase would collapse in on itself.
