Stabilization of Rock Face with Rock Bolts at Notre Dame de la Garde Basilica
DYWIDAG supplied rock bolts and mesh to stabilize the unstable rock face at Notre Dame de la Garde Basilica, preserving this iconic landmark.
Challenge
The Basilica, located on a steep hill, faced instability due to atmospheric exposure and weathering of the rock face. A solution was needed to reinforce the slope and secure the site.
Solution
DYWIDAG’s local representative, SAGGAM, provided 455 DYWIDAG Gewi Rock Bolts, totaling 1,300m, along with 1,600m² of mesh. The bolts were installed by rappelling down the rock face, securing the protective mesh with post-tensioning and grout injection.
Result
The quick and effective stabilization preserved the rock face and ensured the safety of the Basilica, thanks to DYWIDAG's comprehensive solution.
