Project: King’s Court, Belgrade, Serbia
Investor: Ministry of Culture, Energoprojekt- oprema, Srbija
Works: Repair of moisture in the basement section of the object

State of the structure: existing wall construction of solid brick d=80 cm, air insulation d=20 cm and a protective brick wall d=25 cm, built from 1925 to 1927. Significant moisture in the wall was found. Attempted repair by waterproof plasters and coatings did not give any results. Excavation of the building is not feasible due to the inaccessibility of part of the building and the adjacent construction of underground works.

The process of restoration: based on our diagnostics presence of water in the air layer and the accompanying transfer of moisture to the inside wall of bricks across the connection was determined.

Raster injection was applied into the joint between the protective wall and soil using Euras Gel type B to achieve a homogeneous overlay to protect the outer wall.

By using the optical fibre camera we have documented the penetration of the gel into the air layer of the wall construction where underground water was penetrating before. The gel appeared on the lawn next to the building, on the site of the old roots of the felled tree. This process achieved permanent drying of the walls, removing the cause, not the consequence.
