Parliament Buildings – Ottawa, Canada

November 7, 2014

Saint Astier® Natural Hydraulic Lime mortars are being used for the restoration of Canada’s historic Parliament Buildings. This is one of Canada’s largest restoration projects. Construction first started in 1860, and now consists of several buildings. The restoration project first started in 2002 and is now focused on the three core historic buildings, the West Block, Centre Block, and East Block. Saint Astier® Natural Hydraulic Lime mortar can guarantee that the building will continue to live a healthy life and allow the masonry to behave as it should.

Pont du Gard – Provence, France

October 8, 2014

Pont du Gard (Bridge over the Gard River) is a monumental bridge-aqueduct built by the Romans during the first century and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. It was part of a 30-mile long aqueduct with a remarkable constant slope of 15 inches per mile. The bridge was built without mortar and with local stones, some weighing 6 tons, except for the aqueduct area at the top, where smaller stones and mortar were used. Extensive restoration work took place recently using Saint Astier® Natural Hydraulic Limes for the aqueduct and other various stones.
