The Metropolitan Opera House

Description

Designed by Architect Wallace K. Harrison (the designer of Rockefeller Center), The Metropolitan Opera House is clad with Roman Travertine and has a footprint of 170 feet wide of 450 feet long. After 50 years of exposure to harsh NYC winters, the Travertine was in very poor condition and Nicholson & Galloway was contracted to perform a three-year restoration including the following scope of work:

• 550 full height Travertine fin replacements, some weighing as much as 1,100 Ibs
• 1,020 Travertine Fins removed and reset with new custom anchoring along the full length of the perimeter
• 150 Travertine dutchman
• 500 Travertine patch repairs
• 30,000 linear feet of Travertine repointing
• 135,000 linear feet of  caulking removal and replacement
• 43 window replacements
• 940 Travertine crack repairs with new stainless steel pins and staples
• 800 linear feet of travertine crack repair
• 1,415 new custom stainless steel stone anchors
