During the 2007-09 Monument major repair contract, the armature was found to be tilting over, crushing stonework and causing concern over the stability of the flaming orb. The general movement of the Monument over the years is discussed here together with the specific movement of the armature and consequent damage to the historic fabric. Reasons for the tilting are offered along with a description of the approach taken to resist further movement until the next inspection of the exterior in about 80 years' time, the average frequency of scaffolding the Monument. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2009 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
