In a demonstration of accuracy and innovation in stone drafting and fabrication, Union Marble & Granite and Precision Stone worked with acclaimed Italian architect and designer Antonio Pio Saracino on his project, “The Guardians: Hero and Superhero,” two 13-foot-high statues installed outside of Bryant Park in New York City.

The “Hero” statue weighs 6,000 pounds, is made from Olympic White Vermont Danby marble, which was supplied through related company ABC Stone of Brooklyn, NY. It was created as an interpretation of Michelangelo’s David. Union Marble fabricated the statue, with Precision Stone providing the drafting, project development, coordination and installation. Picco Engineering of Concord, Ontario, Canada, assisted with the assembly and installation procedures along with lifting devices and calculating center of gravity for each of five preassembled pieces.
