Preserving History through Structural Restorations: Aman Hotel’s Iconic Cupola Removal

In the heart of Miami Beach, a historic treasure stands tall – the Aman Hotel, formerly known as the Versailles Hotel, built in 1941. As guardians of both history and innovation, our team of skilled engineers and concrete restoration specialists embarked on a remarkable journey to remove and restore the iconic cupola that has graced the skyline for decades.

Legacy of Elegance and Craftsmanship

The Aman Hotel, a symbol of timeless elegance, has witnessed the changing tides of Miami Beach while remaining an architectural gem. To preserve its legacy and ensure its enduring charm, our team came together with a blend of expertise, innovation, and respect for the past.

Months of meticulous planning paved the way for the delicate operation. Our engineers and specialists collaborated seamlessly, considering every angle, detail, and challenge that might arise during the cupola removal. The historic significance of the structure added an extra layer of care to the process.

Unveiling the Lattice Boom Crawler Crane

The centerpiece of this operation was the lattice boom crawler crane, a mechanical masterpiece designed to handle extraordinary loads with surgical precision. With a capacity to lift 237,000 pounds, this engineering marvel became an extension of our expertise.

As the sun cast its golden glow on the Miami Beach skyline, the lattice boom crawler crane came to life. With calculated grace, it embraced the cupola, cradling it like a precious artifact. Inch by inch, the cupola was lowered, a feat that demanded unwavering focus, as the delicate dance between history and innovation unfolded.

Temporary Farewell, Permanent Restoration

Once gently lowered to a temporary location, the cupola awaits its next chapter. Here, our concrete restoration specialists will meticulously examine, repair, and fortify its structure. Every crack, every blemish will be tended to, ensuring that this beacon of history remains not only beautiful but also resilient.

The removal of the cupola was more than just a logistical task; it was a journey to bridge the past and the future. As we honor the history embedded within these walls, we also embrace the opportunity to contribute to the story by enhancing its structural integrity and safeguarding it for generations to come.
