SUMMARY
In August 2011 during an earthquake, the Embassy of Indonesia located in Washington, D.C., experienced damage to a large, interior skylight. CCA was retained to assess the extent of damage that had occurred to the Tiffany type, leaded glass skylight installed around 1901. A structural assessment concluded that the supporting framework of the skylight remained intact and did not impact the safety of the public space below. CCA recommended implementing a protection plan during the remediation of cracked glass panes and framework.
