The project involves the refurbishment of the internal Trinity Dome. Scaffolding Solutions, using Turner OCTO®, have provided access to facilitate painting and re-tiling.
The design of the scaffold structures was integral in winning the project. This originated from TurnerÂ’s Design Department with on-going support being provided to Scaffolding Solutions and the main Client.
Recently, the Archbishop of Washington Cardinal Donald Wuerl held a blessing in the church, 160-feet above the floor of the basilica, on a structure built using Turner OCTO® System Scaffolding. This has created an elevated studio to allow the artists to start piecing together the dome mosaic.
