St. Alphonsus Church — masonry and brick stabilization

Baltimore, Maryland, USA · 2010

Historic church masonry in Baltimore
Problem

The building's brick masonry and stone features were under distress and required a conservation-aware reinforcement solution.

CINTEC solution

Custom anchors were specified to stabilize key masonry zones while keeping the façade intervention small and visually discreet.

Technical notes

This heritage project underscores the value of careful, project-specific design in brick and mixed masonry buildings.

Result

The cathedral-like church remains stable and the masonry work supports the long-term preservation of a significant historic place.

CINTEC provides technical consulting, product guidance and project support within its authorized scope. Final design responsibility and structural analysis remain with the project's Engineer of Record.
