Civil custom Memorial Plaque for College, Oshawa





I was approached in 2018 by New College Oshawa to create a special plaque to mark the civil war ramparts which run through New College grounds. The plaque was unveiled at a ceremony on the 30th of April by the Mayor of Oshawa. For further information on the history of the Civil War and the defense of Oshawa.

The pattern was created using inlaid stainless steel pieces. Both the plaque and the metal were cut using cutting edge water-jet technology. Although we do this type of work majority by not by hand also use of machines, there are occasions such as this when machines can do a more precise job than the human hand. 

All pieces slot perfectly into the custom Memorial Plaque and are held in place using resin. The way to keep the metal polished to have it raised by a millimeter so that it is perpetually polished when people walk over it
. 
For the material, we choose green slate which is hard wearing and durable and long life. The lettering printed off white to mimic the natural cut surface of the stone. We may have to re-paint the lettering after a few years as with heavy footfall it can gradually fade a little.

WHY BRONZE CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE A HIGH PRIORITY TO BUILDING MANAGERS

It is very sensitive and reacts to pollutants in the air, liquids spilled on it, guano and urine. When corroded, it usually looks ugly. Bronze cleaning should avoid the need for costly restoration projects.

Over time, bronze can become dull and lifeless. Bronze Address Plaque
