Structural safety for 'C. De Giorgi' High School
In 2013, the C. De Giorgi Scientific High School in Lecce underwent a renovation to ensure structural safety and preserve the integrity of the building, a key institution for scientific education in the city.
Securing the cornice
The intervention involved securing the 190-meter-long cornice, which had deteriorated due to weather conditions. The risk of the marble cladding detaching was addressed through consolidation works, ensuring the safety of students and staff.
Cleaning and consolidation of the cornice
The surfaces were thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt and encrustations, improving the facade's aesthetics. The marble cladding was consolidated using compatible materials and safe techniques, complying with building regulations.
Safety during construction
To ensure uninterrupted classes, the work was organized to avoid interference with school activities. Temporary protection devices were used to guarantee the safety of users during the construction phase.
A safer and more dignified high school
Following the renovation, the C. De Giorgi High School offers a safer and more welcoming environment for students. The maintenance of the cornice also enhanced the building's aesthetic appeal, elevating the institution's image.
