Renovation of monuments requires extra attention

What are we going to do?
A total of approx. 10,000 m2 of roof will be replaced with so-called Duplicor® replica “Bims concrete elements”. The Duplicor® replica elements have been approved by the monument care department and look exactly like the original concrete elements in shape, colour and texture.

The only difference is….
The Duplicor® elements weigh only one fifth of the weight of the concrete variant! In addition, they provide a thermal insulation value (RC 2.5) that was lacking in the original concrete elements. Due to the enormous weight saving, the original (slender) truss structure of the roof can be retained without the need for adjustments. Furthermore, the Duplicor® roof elements are so light in weight that they will be installed from the inside with a small crane.
