Conclusion and results
THE HELIBEAM SYSTEM was installed within four months of WJE's specification, beginning with the anchors, completed in August 2010. An alternative to complete structural tear down and rebuild, the system delivered an efficient green solution in restoring the Olympia Theater.

According to Reno Fricano, SPS project engineer/manager Alan Fleischer, "Ultimately, in collaborating with WJE and SPS throughout the entire specification, design and installation phases, the system provided a non-invasive, cost-effective, and sustainable stabilization solution in revitalizing the architectural luster and integrity to one of America's original movie palaces."

"The repairs were successfully installed, meeting the client's needs of an emergency stabilization method which could be installed immediately, quickly and inexpensively," says WJE's Laureys. "It's hard to compare with it as it was more cost effective than traditional stainless steel threaded rod and epoxy."

RJHA's Heisenbottle adds that Phase I restoration is complete, and the team is proceeding with Phase II, the $10 million restoration of the theater side of the building and the terra cotta tower, which should round out the project sometime in 2012. IMAS
