Delicate work on fragile structures. How modern techniques help preserve Budapest's architectural heritage.

Preserving the Past

Budapest is famous for its stunning architecture. From Art Nouveau palaces to neo-Gothic parliaments, these buildings require special care. Scaffolding can sometimes damage fragile ornamentation or simply be too heavy for the structure.

The Gentle Touch

Industrial rope access is surprisingly gentle.

  • No Heavy Loads: We don't bolt heavy steel frames into the historic masonry.
  • Soft Contact: Our ropes and rope protectors (pads) ensure the building fabric is not abraded.
  • Precision: We can maneuver around delicate statues and carvings without touching them until necessary.

Typical Projects

  1. Statue Cleaning: Removing decades of soot and pigeon droppings from facade sculptures using soft brushes and steam.
  2. Loose Render Removal: Safely removing dangerous, loose plaster before it falls on tourists.
  3. Documentation: Creating detailed photo reports for conservation architects.

We work closely with heritage preservation authorities to ensure all materials and methods are approved for historic structures.
