EGI Westerly team was the prime contractor on this delicate and complex project to repair and repaint the iron gates and fence of the Antietam National Cemetery which has been on the National Historic Register since 1966. The four-section gate way which is 26’ wide and 7’,4” high was infiltrated by water resulting in rust which had cracked open a significant number of brackets, a few to the point of falling apart. The paint was failing throughout and required safe lead-based paint abatement.
EGI Westerly team carefully removed, cleaned, and reused as much of the original gate as possible. Corrosion pitting required special handling with application of plastic metal required to be applied no sooner than four hours after priming. All areas were painted matte black with the exception of the center eagles and shields which were painted gold. The outstanding results befit the honoring of the 23,110 men who were killed, wounded or missing on September 17, 1862, at the Battle of Antietam.
