Concrete watches over the Comtesse Hospice

30 April 2011 - New contracts - France

Concrete, a VINCI subsidiary specialising in the technical maintenance of our built heritage, has been awarded a contract by the city of Lille (northern France) for the monitoring and assessment of the Comtesse Hospice museum, a gem of traditional Lille architecture built between the 15th and 18th centuries and now classified as a listed building. Concrete’s task involves carrying out inspections, installing instrumentation in the building and taking measurements (including 3-D modelling), in order to identify the causes of problems and be able to advise the client on possible protective or remedial solutions. These monitoring operations began in late 2010 and will continue over a period of 8 years.
