Résumé (en anglais)

This paper looks at the recent Statue of Liberty restoration as a project combining conservation within a larger construction effort. Because the complexities of the construction portion of the project, i.e. : a compressed time frame, engineering design considerations, union labor, and the extensive visitor services and island modifications, meant that most work would be accomplished by trade contractors, close supervision and tight specifications pertaining to the historic fabric were necessary. In one case, fabricating the new flame, the contractor was selected on the basis of their ability to perform and not on price. Fortunately, most of the metal conservation was confined to the exterior skin and was accessible for close supervision.
