Travaux sealing of the terraces of the cathedral of Saint-Dié
Amount: €434,742 (100% State Plan France relaunch)
Construction Begins: Fall 2021
Duration: 7 months
The Cathedral of Saint-Dié suffered serious damage during the Second World War and was partially destroyed during the night of 16 to 17 November 1944: the choir, apse, sacristy, transept, chapels, nave are badly damaged; the vaults collapsed (only the first double arch of the nave remains), the walls are dislocated, cracked, crushed. The first two southern flying buttresses were torn off by the explosion and completely disorganized.
The demolished parts are rebuilt between 1955 and 1957 according to a project of Texier, Chief Architect of Historical Monuments respecting the old provisions. It was during this period that the roofs of the low terraces of the North and South towers were rebuilt in concrete.
Presentation of resta’s biasuration
The sealing of the two sunken roof decks never functioned properly. Despite the maintenance, the stagnation of rainwater and recurrent overflows cause each year a deterioration of the already restored sidings. It is therefore proposed the implementation of new copper roofs allowing direct and rapid evacuation of rainwater to the downside by sufficiently dimensioned open slates. Leaves or debris must no longer be able to clog stormwater passages to facilitate future maintenance phases. The arrangement of these roofs should not have any visual impact from the forecourt of the western façade.
