Conservation Note:
The project had rented steel beam scaffolding and a winch from Dany Roy for maneuvering groups of assembled fragments into place on the platform. It was constructed so that movement was possible on tracks in 3 directions, side to side and front to back, as well as raising and lowering by the winch mechanism itself. For more information on the installation of winch scaffolding, see section IV.5 in the Final Report.
