Johannesburg Art Gallery and Museum Africa Refurbishment project
Description of Project:
Vitruvius Consulting was appointed as the lead civil and structural design team for the upgrade and refurbishment of the Johannesburg Art Gallery and Museum Africa Heritage Buildings, in the Johannesburg CBD. We worked closely with the JDA to restore these historic buildings back to their former glory.
Services Rendered:
The scope of work for Vitruvius Consulting involved the design, sign-off, site supervision of the renovation work carried out in and around the gallery. Since the buildings and structures were quite old, Vitruvius Consulting was also responsible to check the structural integrity of the buildings and to carry out assessments on them.
Other challenges that Vitruvius consulting faced with these buildings were dampness, waterproofing issues, failure of old building materials, and the rehabilitation of roofs and walls.
