Scaffolding a Landmark: The Restoration of the Dome of the United States Capitol Building
The restoration of the dome of the United States Capitol Building was a project that required years of careful planning prior to entering the bid process. One of the major components of the project involved determining how to safely access the work surfaces to allow for the restoration work, which involved cast iron crack repair, lead paint abatement, and temporary removal of much of the ornamentation. Additionally, since any construction access structure would remain on the building for an extended period of time, the appearance of the dome during the work was an item of concern as well. This paper serves to discuss the process of designing, value engineering and finally constructing the exterior scaffolding around the dome of the Capitol building.
