The Augusta Hangar faces many conservational challenges, including earthquakes, fires, and vandalism, all of which provoke a picture of complex damage and subsidence. Site authorities have expressed concern about the hangar's abandonment and subsequent decay, and as a result, much effort has been made for its preservation. The University of Ferrara contributed to these efforts by scanning the hangar using Cyrax 2500 and Leica TCRM 1102+ laser survey scanners, and donating the data to the CyArk archive.
