Haligon Fine Art Studio <br />H 16' 5" <br /> <br />RESTORATION: <br /> <br />Facts: Because of the incoming tropical storm Ernesto, somebody from the city of Sunny Isles <br />Beach decide to put the sculpture on the ground. Olivier Haligon always told that this maneuver <br />will be necessary only in case of category 2 or more hurricanes, and with his free supervising for <br />the first time when it will occur. <br />However, employees from the city tried to ground the sculpture by themselves without the <br />necessary knowledge and the sculpture felt sharply from 12 feet high on the concrete path. <br /> <br />The shock damaged all the outside angles of the sculpture. The gel coat scratch and the fiberglass <br />have been damaged on every outside angle. <br /> <br />That occurs Tuesday 29 of August 2006. Olivier Haligon have been inform of the incident <br />Wednesday 30 of August 2006. We managed to bring back the sculpture to our studio Thursday <br />31 of August 2006 with the appropriate crane. <br /> <br />Work to do: Because of the the very thin shape of the sculpture (1 W' thick) the chosen <br />technique was fiberglass with double honeycomb pius 2 coats of fiberglass in the middle. This <br />very contempory technique who assured the strength of the delicate sculpture, adding the <br />rotating system with the wind. This is a very high tech sculpture the City can be proud to own. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, the process to restore the damages is long and costly. <br />To keep the overall strength of the sculpture we need to keep the fiberglass cover all over the <br />surface. <br /> <br />It is a long process over the 50 feet oCthe angles of the sculpture. We have to take out the ,_, '..__ <br />aamagea fitierglass 2"onbothangles, then sana underneath the strong fiberglass and rebuilt all <br />the angles with fiberglass and gel coat. That demand lot of skill and knowledge. <br />After that all the process of paint has to be done. Plus in every step special skill is needed to move <br />the sculpture the right way. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT "A" <br /> <br />6724 N.E. 4 Th Avenue <br />Miami.
