Stonewest - Specifier's Information

Architectural Review, The, Dec, 2002

The restoration of Wellington Arch, including the cleaning, restoration and repointing of the Portland stone elevations, was carried out by Stonewest. It was also necessary to design structural remedies to be as noninvasive as possible: 'stitching' across fractures to columns using stone slithers to bridge the fractures, and drilling about 3m through the entablature to arrest previous fracture and movement. Much of the restoration work was in re-carving original details including lions' masks, Corinthian capitals and 'egg and dart' cornice embellishment.
