Site Planning Meeting Notes - 2021-11-24
Tom Flemons, Zosia and I present
Sample locations
Two different new sample locations proposed
Column drum base to be taken from fractured edge as able to fit drill in there and will be less visible to the public, as well as being thicker than current sample location
Column drum to be sampled vertically from top as wide enough and less damaging to stone
Have emailed Stephen explaining with pictures of these sample locations so hopefully he will be happy to grant permissions
Most sample locations fine and easy to access, even the coping blocks on the pallet in the stone store. Only difficulty is pediment corner, but will be able to get appropriate equipment in
Access and Equipment
Only a small handheld drill will be used without water to take samples
Stepladder to access material on display
Movement of statue in stone store will need a small pallet lifter and scissor trolley to move pediment stone out of corner and sample it
Movement of statue factored into the costs of work
Getting this equipment into store is not my problem though and should be very manageable
Duration & Availability
Should take less than a whole day to do all the samples
Material on display will be sampled first out of hours, then stuff in the stone store can be done during normal working hours
Out of hours finishes at 10am over winter, so may be a later start than I thought
Tom will get back to us with dates as lots of ongoing projects and some that have been cancelled, so may be able to fit the sampling in before Christmas but hard to tell. Otherwise should be done in early January
Zosia has sent a list of dates over for December, but January difficult to organise as the bookings at the site are not yet available for that month
Supervisors present
Tom would prefer they were not as horrible to work with people watching you carefully, especially if discussions need to happen in the course of sampling
Can video sampling though and send it to supervisors
I will still be present during sampling to make sure everything goes smoothly
