Plan B Paved the Way for Historic Restoration

Cracks, leaks, and an active congregation were all concerns that Plan B had to maneuver while building the means and methods to access the famous Guastavino Dome at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

Plan B Engineering partnered with Platform Solutions to build a work platform that would then be lifted 200 ft. in the air. This created access for Silman Engineering and Nicholson and Galloway to complete the necessary repairs to the historical dome.

The Result: Because we were brought on early, we were able to stick to the cathedral’s tight schedule and ensure that all dome work be completed by Christmas time—the busiest season for the cathedral.
