The Notre Dame Du Liban cathedral is one of Lebanon’s most iconic landmarks, steeped in rich history and unparalleled beauty. However, the structure had suffered significant wear and tear, putting it at risk of being lost forever. Moreover, this project faced erratic patterns of repair and had to be treated on a case-by-case basis. In an effort to preserve its architectural and cultural significance, we embarked on a mission to fully restore the cathedral to its former glory.

Our team designed and implemented a custom-made scaffolding system as well as build services that were tailored to the cathedral’s unique architecture, ensuring that all repairs were carried out with the utmost care and precision. The restoration process included a full structural and architectural repair, and even included the demolition and reconstruction of damaged elements. Throughout the project, we worked tirelessly to ensure that the cathedral remained open to the public.

Despite facing some unexpected challenges along the way, we remained committed to our goal of restoring the cathedral to its original splendor. We navigated time and budget constraints with a focus on public safety, and ultimately delivered a result that exceeded expectations. Today, the Notre Dame Du Liban cathedral stands proud once again, a shining example of our dedication to excellence and unwavering commitment to preserving Lebanon’s cultural heritage.
