DESCRIPTION

Works consisted in the restoration and value enhancement of the façades of the "Corrientes" building, its hall and accesses to 1st and 2nd above-ground levels. Fire escape staircases and walkways were also constructed in the "Corrientes" and "Bouchard" buildings. In the latter, repair works were performed in restrooms and in the kitchen on the 6th above-ground level. Façades were restored, by cleaning and removing invasive vegetation and loose plasterwork. Once the surface had been prepared, cracks and fissures were repaired through masonry work and consolidation of surfaces. Then, façades were waterproofed and painted, including shutters and metallic elements. Lastly, final cleaning was performed, and pertinent treatment was applied to granites and marbles on the base. Works also included the installation and replacement of air conditioning equipment and piping of outer electrical installation.
