Consigli Construction's Maine team oversees projects at St. Paul's School Self-perform craftsworkers play key role in successful restorations and repairs

Consigli Construction Co., Inc.'s Maine operations have completed a series of projects at St. Paul's School, wrapping up several years of ongoing summer work designed to restore and refurbish multiple buildings on the school's campus. A key part of the 2008 program was the completion of the restoration of Coit Hall, a 19th century gothic architecture-styled residence hall. Starting in 2005, Consigli has performed masonry restoration, window replacement, repointing, chemical cleaning and brick rebuilding. This year's work focused on completion of the masonry restoration, installation of energy-efficient windows, and new copper flashings and slate for the building's roof. Consigli has also installed ice and water shields on the roof sheathing and replaced deteriorated wood elements. In prior years, Consigli has constructed a new entry canopy. Consigli's craftsworkers self-performed all of the project's masonry work. This summer's work also included rebuilding the campus steam plant chimney, which required maintaining a tight schedule during the campus steam shutdown to ensure it could be re-activated prior to the students' return. In years past, Consigli's team has successfully carried out a 2-year phased renovation of St. Paul's Ohrstrom Library and multiple flood-protection improvements, again with numerous components self-performed by Consigli craftsworkers. All work was preceded by extensive pre-construction planning that produced schedules designed to minimize impact on the students and procure long-lead items prior to construction.
