Holy Hill Steeple Reconstruction
|
OBJECTIVE:
Restoration of the interior of the south viewing steeple to its original bare brick interior. The work was performed without disturbing the regular church activities of this cherished Wisconsin landmark.
SOLUTION:
To ensure that the church remained habitable during the restoration, Barthenheier sealed the area of the south viewing steeple from the rest of the building to eliminate infiltration of dust and debris. In addition, a vacuum truck was used to create negative pressure during sandblasting in order to contain the dust. Sandblasting removed the old plaster and paint inside the spire, from the church-level up. The restoration was completed by sealing of brick interior, for on-going protection.
This historic landmark’s original character was restored without appreciable disruption of the church’s daily activities.
Barthenheier Construction is pleased to have completed additional projects at Holy Hill, including:
• Installation of drain system on observation deck to eliminate standing water
• Replacement of wall and window of Cafe Three Seasons
• Repair of collapsing retaining wall near gift shop
• Caulking of leaking windows throughout monastery
