Monument, archaeological site
In our country there is a large number of declared monuments and demarcated protection zones (prehistoric, classical, Byzantine and post-Byzantine). The study of the restoration of immovable monuments and the configuration of archaeological sites requires a specialized knowledge and experience as it is called to solve complex issues. During the first stage of the study, the Analysis :
- The legislation is checked (designation of a monument, archeological site)
- The monument is documented through archival research (architectural, photographic archives)
- The current situation is captured using topographic instruments and traditional measurement techniques.
- Where appropriate, photogrammetry and laser scanning technologies are applied during the imaging.
- Detailed photography is done to document the current situation.
- The pathology is recorded by locating the structural, building and aesthetic problems.
In the second stage, the Proposal :
- The study is completed in all its successive stages (preliminary study, final study and implementation study).
- The necessary approvals on a case-by-case basis are ensured by the competent services of the Ministry of Culture.
- The detailed budget is drawn up.
