A major refurbishment of a beautiful, grade A listed Edwardian concert hall obviously presents many challenges. One of these is how to protect the fabric of the existing building. This week the contractor and architect have been telling me that they will install protection for the marble pillars. I must admit I scratched my head when I saw this - cellophane and wood? I was expecting thick woollen blankets and sentry guards, or something.
However, a conversation with our project liaison manager and all was explained. The wood protects the pillar from knocks and holds the cellophane down. The cellophane is wrapped around to allow visible checks to reveal if the vibrations are causing any damage. Clever, eh.
