CINTEC PLAYS INTEGRAL ROLE IN WINDSOR CASTLE RESTORATION

CLS CINTEC has played an integral part in the renovation of Windsor Castle that reopens for viewing by the public this week. The CINTEC Designed Anchor System has been involved in prestigious projects in Canada, the United States, Australia, Egypt, Western Europe and throughout the United Kingdom. they have developed a worldwide reputation for the repair, strengthening and refurbishment of many historic buildings including work with ICOMOS, and English Heritage. That said, they also do a great deal of work on the repair of bridges and high-rise buildings. Whilst the work on Windsor Castle is but one of many heritage projects, its successful completion has given the president, Peter James, particular satisfaction.

The 900 year old Castle is not only one of the residences of her Majesty the Queen but is also the repository of many of the Royal artifacts including priceless art treasures. At 11:37 am on Friday 20th November, 1992, fire broke out and much of the castle was devastated by the raging inferno that ensued. The fire raged all day and at 6:30 pm the Brunswick Tower was engulfed. The intense heat caused the castellated section of the Tower to fracture, with the possible risk of collapse. Initially there seemed to be little choice but to dismantle and rebuild the top section of the Tower. However, the versatility of the CINTEC Anchoring System enabled the engineers to design a repair solution that restored the structural integrity without further disruption to the unstable stonework.

Throughout the damaged areas of the Castle, CINTEC anchors were used to restore the integrity of the walls and provide repair and strengthening solutions to the magnificent Heritage Building.
