SUN Precast Awarded Craftmanship, Restoration & Manufacturing Excellence (3) Awards for West Point Eagle
This project is a complete cast stone replacement restoration of one of the iconic buildings of the West Point Academy which was constructed in 1910. The cast stone scope includes the complete replacement of very ornate upper cast stone elements, including a unique 10’ wide x 9’ high three-dimensional eagle, large medallions, architectural hood, tracery, beam, decorative heads, panels, and pilasters.
Due to the complexity of the architectural details, rubber molds were required for most of the elements. The large eagle required over 100 square feet of rubber for the single mold.
The highly refined cast stone mix design and intricate cast stone molding techniques enabled the detailed replication of the ornate architectural details. The fully restored cast stone elements serve as the visual focal point of this historically significant building.
