Installation Support for Large Sculpture
Large sculptures arrive at a site after months of planning, and the final steps—unloading, assembly, and handover—must be executed without damage or delay. Kapur Sculpture provides installation support for custom metal and fiberglass sculptures, ensuring the piece is coordinated with the foundation, base plate, crane access, and site logistics from the design phase. This support covers all stages from crate arrival to final handover, with clear coordination on structural details and site-specific requirements.
What Usually Goes Wrong
- The sculpture arrives but the base or foundation is not ready, delaying the entire project
- A polished surface is scratched during unpacking or assembly due to improper handling
- Tall or heavy pieces cannot be lifted into place without crane access planning
- Sections shipped separately are difficult to reassemble on site without clear instructions
- No documentation is available for structural integrity or wind load in the local environment
- The client has no on-site support after the crate is opened
What the Project Needs
- A base plate and foundation coordinated with the sculpture design before production
- Clear access and crane planning for tall or heavy pieces before shipping
- Unpacking procedures that protect polished or mirror-finished surfaces
- Assembly instructions for multi-part sculptures shipped in sections
- Structural calculations and wind load ratings confirmed per project
- On-site support for first clean and handover after installation
Where the Work Lands
A 3-meter corten steel sculpture for a resort entrance requiring crane access and foundation alignment
A mirrored stainless steel sphere shipped in three sections for a hotel atrium
A fiberglass sculpture with a custom base plate for a plaza installation
A tall stainless steel wall decoration requiring wind load certification for coastal exposure
A multi-piece installation in a public garden with access constraints and lifting limitations
A handover event where the sculpture must be clean and ready for photography
How a Project Runs
- Agree on the foundation and base plate details during the design phase
