Compass Point Project Officially Reaches Halfway Mark!
Site Information
We’re thrilled to announce a significant milestone in the Compass Point Project as the Storm Tower relocation work has officially reached the halfway point!
Over the past weeks, the dedicated team has been diligently working on the dismantling process, carefully removing the stone section by section. The majority of the tower has been successfully dismantled, leaving just a small portion at the bottom yet to be removed.
This process hasn’t been without its challenges. The stonework’s fragile state posed complexities in preservation, but our skilled experts managed to salvage as much of the original stone as possible, ensuring we maintain the essence of the tower’s historic identity.
The race to dismantle the tower before the cliff becomes more unstable is completing just in time as new and significant cracks have appeared in the cliff area next to the site.
As we look forward, we are pleased to announce that preparations for the rebuilding phase are set to begin at the end of this week. It’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, both on-site and behind the scenes, that we’ve reached this pivotal stage.
Next week, will see the commencement of the actual reconstruction of the Storm Tower. While the initial pace may be measured, progress is expected to gain momentum.
As we continue on this incredible journey, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved, from our dedicated team members to our partners and the entire community. Together, we are preserving our rich heritage and crafting a legacy that will be cherished for generations to come.
