The Preservation Technology Group within JMA provides a unique complement to traditional preservation services, and our architectural conservators provide a wide range of services that are almost unheard of in most firms. Supported by our in-house laboratories, an unparalleled knowledge of historic buildings, and a practical, hands-on approach to problem solving, JMA's conservators seek out the best that science and technology have to offer. We routinely work with leading scientists, technology providers, and manufacturers to find the best, most cost-effective solutions to solving real-world problems at historic properties. Innovation, creativity, and excellence are hallmarks of our work.

Shalom Baranes Associates, PC and the U.S. Department of the Treasury JMA provided technical conservation services in support of a $100-million interior rehabilitation of the U.S. Treasury Building (1836–1869). Work included restoration of exterior plazas, steps, entrance canopies, a concrete colonnade ceiling, bronze statues, paint analysis, and conservation of all interior historic materials impacted by the project.

Work also included materials testing, digital laser scanning, and conservation and replication of a marble monument. The conserved monument is in storage, and the replica has been installed in its place.   This octagonal Neoclassical building retains a high level of significance and integrity, including its Delorme dome (Photo: Sarah Cooleen).     Terminal A, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport Washington, D.C. Shalom Baranes Associates, PC and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority A conservation program for this significant 1941 reinforced-concrete passenger terminal was developed. Work included materials testing, non-destructive evaluation, conditions assessment, treatment evaluation, construction documents, and technical construction support services. The repair program included the development of custom repair mortars and electrochemical stabilization of deteriorated concrete.   Capitol Airlines Douglas DC-3 at Terminal  A, 1941 (Photo: Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority).     Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials Washington, D.C. McKissack & McKissack and the National Park Service, Denver Service Center JMA provided technical conservation assistance for a design-build project addressing stone conservation and cleaning of both the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials. Work included conservation assessment, materials testing, hands-on conservation treatment of metallic staining, and development of a prototype volute repair methodology.   The final design, a circular colonnade structure, was modeled after a design by architect John Russell Pope (Photo: JMA).     Saturn V Rocket Johnson Space Flight Center, Houston, Texas Conservation Solutions, the Johnson Space Flight Center, and the Smithsonian Institution As part of an evaluation and treatment program for the conservation of the last flight-ready Apollo rocket, JMA developed a visual tool for rapidly recording thousands of pieces of information regarding the rocket's surface. These digitized records created a user-friendly, graphic-driven database for documenting existing conditions.   The 363-foot-long Saturn V rocket is the only one composed of flight-ready components (Photo: Kevin A. Boudreaux).     Fort Pike Emergency Stabilization Lake Pontchartrain, New Orleans, Louisiana The State of Louisiana, Office of State Parks Fort Pike has three major bastions and a curved wall facing the Rigolets, a slow-moving channel at the north end of Lake Ponchartrain that connects it to Lake Catherine and Lake Borgne. The fortification suffers from severe displacement of masonry walls and vaults, resulting in large cracks and collapsing masonry. JMA has prepared construction documents to stabilize the fort.   Fort Pike is one of the earliest of the Third System fortifications built between 1816 and 1867 (Photo: JMA).     United States Marine Hospital Louisville, Kentucky Louisville Metro Development Authority JMA prepared a historic structure report with recommendations for the adaptive reuse of this National Historic Landmark, which was completed by the federal government in 1853 as a hospital for boatmen on the "western waters." JMA is now providing full architectural services for its $2-million exterior stabilization and restoration.   A high-lift enabled JMA conservators to assess the exterior condition of the building (Photo: JMA).   Additional Projects Stratford Hall To Top
