Case study: Composites for Civil Engineering - Statue of Liberty Museum and Statue of Liberty secondary screening facility

Screening of the Statue of Liberty Museum from extreme weather events such as Hurricane Sandy.
 Chomarat’s novel carbon fibre-epoxy grid, C-GRID, was cast into concrete panels by High Concrete Group to create very strong and thermally efficient panels to withstand all that a changing climate can throw at them. The vertical patterning of the precast concrete panels was inspired by the Palisades, a line of cliffs along the Hudson River.
