How Deteriorated Can Marble Facades Get? Investigation and Design of Repairs

Source

The existing condition of the exterior marble panel facade of a high-rise building in midtown Manhattan were unsafe. A number of marble faced panels had bulged out and were ready to pop out and fall down to the crowded street below. These deteriorated and unsafe conditions necessitated a facade investigation, close examinations, field testing of marble, and analyses of the deteriorated marble panels. The causes for the failure were determined in order to design effective repairs.
