This operation took place in two distinct parts. The first concerned the interior fittings, attributed to Lainé-Delau. The aim was to restore the original frames and the so-called “French-style” ceilings, that is, with exposed oak beams. Metal floors were also created to strengthen the structure of the building. Thus, no less than 2,000m 3of concrete were poured, 70 tonnes of steel were used and 10,000 m² of floors were renovated. In addition, many technical ducts now cross the walls and floors and are connected to a brand new energy pole located under the central courtyard. The second part of the work went to Degaine, a specialist in stone cutting. The teams restored the exterior facades, the vaulted rooms on the ground floor and the two monumental staircases. Cleaning by scrubbing or cryogenics, laying of stones from Saint-Leu-d'Esserent (60) identical to those of the time of construction and production of over 12,000 m² of plaster rendering and plaster and lime rendering; in total between 350m 3 and 450m 3of stone have been restored. Degaine has demonstrated its expertise on this site, which has been listed as a historic monument since 1929. Since 2003, VINCI has actively participated in the heritage restoration of the Palace of Versailles. In March 2015, the Group signed a cultural sponsorship agreement for the development of the Dufour pavilion, the future public reception area. © Govin Sorel Companies: Lainé Delau Degaine Client: Public establishment of the Palace, Museum and National Estate of Versailles (EPV), Operator of heritage and cultural real estate projects (Oppic) Architect : Frédéric Didier and Bernard Desmoulin Dates: October 2012 - June 2015 >> Access the list of archived worksites Know how Our jobs Building Civil engineering Hydraulic Specialty trades Follow our projects Work in progress Site of the month File of the month Primmea Our quality approach FEATURED Find out about VINCI Construction France news Site map Accessibility Legal notices © VINCI Construction France 2009 RSS feed A VINCI company Visit the VINCI Construction site
