Abstract

The article deals with problems of reconstruction of the facade and the associated problem of replacement or repair of the panels. In conventional buildings it is a smooth operation, but it is problematic in monument-protected objects. In the case of a common building, it is possible to choose any modern panels and simply replace them, but for historical objects we have to follow the claims and the rules of monument protection. In practice, it usually means the impossibility of use of modern panels, but at least a combination of old and modern technologies. Another possible solution to the problem is renovation, or repairs to the original state of the existing panels, of course with respect to the functionality of panels. The implementation of such repairs must always be based on the technical and historical survey of the condition of the object and the repairs must be professionally designed. Subsequently, corrections are made, during which it is necessary to pay particular attention to observance of the technological procedures, rules and instructions particularly in terms of monument protection. However, the functionality of the works or elements made with regard to the quality of the environment within the building is not negligible. A common problem is the lack of control of technical requirements and functional requirements. Underestimation of the problems then leads to difficult repairs. The article points to the mistakes and problems of one such construction project on a historically protected chateau building.

Highlights

  • At the turn of March and April, our institute was approached by the director of the Jevišovice Retirement Home, located in the new chateau in Jevišovice

  • The quality of the works was not sufficient, the technical supervision of the construction was not performed well, and some parts of the implement work differed from the project documentation

  • Authors were entrusted to conduct local surveys and to make the assessment. This assessment can be divided into the following key points: - Finding and exploring problems and input parameters, - Local investigation and identified defects, - Recommended solution

Summary

Introduction – Purposes and problems of the construction

At the turn of March and April, our institute was approached by the director of the Jevišovice Retirement Home, located in the new chateau in Jevišovice. At the time this object was undergoing the first phase of the facade restoration and we had to make a professional assessment of the works that had been carried out with regard to their quality, timeframe and functionality. Authors were entrusted to conduct local surveys and to make the assessment. This assessment can be divided into the following key points: - Finding and exploring problems and input parameters, - Local investigation and identified defects, - Recommended solution
