CHARACTERIZATION OF HERITAGE MATERIALS

The restoration of heritage not only requires knowledge of the mechanical properties of the materials used, but also the mechanisms causing spoilage and degradation, or characterization of the effectiveness of consolidation and waterproofing treatments usually prescribed in the part of restoration work.

 

The geomaterials characterization method developed by Stone Assistance to quickly meet the architects and contractors in charge of restoration work.

Our experiences:

 

  • The characterization of the state of alteration and degradation of geomaterials
  • The advice on the choice of alternative stones to implement during the restoration of heritage
  • The evaluation of consolidation treatments and waterproofing
