East Gable Wall Works

We are fixing the bending beams in the east gable wall (East Gable Wall, East Gable Wall II).  Our solution required the insallation of a steel reinforced concrete beam.



We built a wooden platform to faciltate the works and removed the wooden beams as well as two layers of stones beneath the arched openng.  The wooden beams were replaced and the steel reinforcement for the concrete beams was installed.
