Schnell Contracting sought out American Scaffoldings, Inc. expertise to design and build a scaffold platform that would allow ease of access during the restoration process. The scaffolding platform was designed around two concepts: preserving historical detail and ease of access. American Scaffolding, Inc. with the help of Neiheisel Steel Corp designed a steel structure that was integrated within the steeple itself to prevent any direct loading onto the existing roof structure that could cause any structural damage. This was combined with a solid layout in order to allow large pieces of stone to be moved easily and freely from the face of the building to a landing platform.
