ANDRÉ PUBLIC SCULPTURES

Prior to the loading for transport, the Client once again had to approve and for this the sculpture was completely assembled in a vertical position. After a succesful sign-off by the client, the arms and head were removed in preparation for the transport. At 4400kg the weight was not a problem. However the road restrictions (height & width) had to be considered. The figure was supported in a custom made steel & wood cradle with arms and head seperately packed and strapped. The 1670 kilometers from Cape Town to Pretoria was covered in a modest and safe time of about 22 hours.
