Coastal Engineering is working with Spencer Preservation Group to assess, stabilize, and restore the historic Scituate Lighthouse. The lighthouse was originally constructed in 1811 and served as a guide to sailors for decades, before being extinguished when an offshore lighthouse was determined to be better suited for the duty. As part of historic preservation efforts, the Scituate Lighthouse was relit in 1994. Coastal’s involvement in the project has included initial and exploratory investigations to identify immediate stability concerns and associated mitigation recommendations, then comprehensive work to develop a plan for long-term structural improvements that are sensitive to the history of the structure.
