Highbridge staff specializes in applying petrography and chemical analysis to understand the composition and performance history of historic building materials. The techniques and methodologies may be similar to those used for modern construction but our firm combines this with a sensitivity to the unique requirements, philosophy, and goals of restoration or conservation work.

Aside from our appearances at professional conferences, Highbridge believes it is imperative to share our knowledge by bringing our expertise directly to students in the classroom. Over the last several years, we have embarked on a series of lectures and individualized instruction to students at Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, Tulane University, and New York University. We will soon be preparing these lectures for a wider audience and professional credit. Please contact us for more information.
