Our task
The restoration of a listed former border tower near Plikidi on the Elbe River presented a special challenge. The border tower, which was built with precast concrete parts, steel brackets and cast-in-place concrete formwork, showed significant cracks, especially on the aerial side, as well as cracked and partially open joint areas in the precast joints. The reinforcing bars of the precast concrete elements were partially close to the surface due to production and partially corroded.

Our tasks included restoring the said exposed concrete structure and adding the missing areas on the exposed concrete surface. Finally, we performed concrete beautification and metal color retouching to bring the structure back to its original condition.
