CanyonTone Stain - National Cemetery of the Pacific & Physician Office Building - Queens Medical Center
National Cemetery of the Pacific
Honolulu • Oahu • Hawaii
Punchbowl Crate, overlooking Pearl Harbor on Oahu, is home to the National Cemetery of the Pacific, which includes a World War II Memorial. Unfortunately, many of the marble panels that made up the memorial had discolored, exhibiting unsightly stains. A ceremony honoring the 50 year anniversary of Armistice Day, which included a visit by President Clinton, required that something be done to restore the natural beauty of the stone. Engraved into the marble panels are the names of all U.S. Servicemen and Women who were killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor. A major concern of the U.S. Depart ment of Defense, who maintains the cemetery, was that nothing be used that would fill in or in any way diminish the integrity of the engraved names. On-site samples were applied, in conjunction with extensive testing performed at the Department of Defense Laboratories in Washington, DC. The testing confirmed that Canyon Tone Stain offered the characteristics required for this prestigious project.
Physician Office Building - Queens Medical Center
Honolulu • Hawaii
This cast-in-place concrete structure was originally sealed with a clear penetrant. Unfortunately, this did not prevent extensive staining and unsightly algae growth from occurring, particularly in the shaded areas of the building. The Owners wanted to keep the natural look of the concrete, so were reluctant to go with paint. Canyon Tone Stain provided the perfect solution, as they were able to achieve a natural, uniform color, while eliminating the algae growth. Maintenance to the building exterior was also virtually eliminated.
