The project recovers the original volumes of the towers and canvases of the castel and incorporates wooden walkways made of iroko that allow visit the original remains.
We have developed a carefully investigation about a new structural system of wooden walkways with glued wooden joints. Each walkway is different, basically they are formed by modules of “L” and “U” of iroko, in 80×46 and 30x46mm sections, which are joined by a system of stainless steel rods, washers and nuts. Polyethylene spacers, 12mm thick , ensure a homogeneous separation between wooden slats.
The modules have been translate completely finished to the site, doing a quickly installation of the system that facilitates the replacement of any piece of wood that could deteriorate over time. Cis-Madeira has worked closely with our technical department, reviewing construction details, analyzing calculations and making trials to ensure the durability of the wood.
