The Citadel renovation continues with a special architectural solution

In several of our articles, we have reported that ZÁÉV Zrt. and Market Zrt. consortium will carry out the complete renovation of the Citadella in the capital. Based on the data published in the EU public procurement bulletin, the two companies will perform glass partition and support structure tasks in the fourth call for tenders, worth HUF 3.8 billion.

According to the tender, the fabrication design, fabrication and temporary storage, as required, of special glass boundary and supporting structures, steel reinforcement and connection systems for the main entrance lobby and suspension glass bridge of the rondella building, as well as the main staircase and the roof structure of the elevator shaft, will be carried out without installation obligations in this phase.

According to a post on the National Hauszmann Programme's Facebook page post on the National Hauszmann Programme's Facebook page, the reception area will feature an exciting glass support structure and a glass covering built on top of it. Due to the span and height of the built-in elements, the design of the lobby is a feat of engineering, which is considered a unique solution even in international construction practice.

Green areas to be increased by one and a half times

The reconstruction of the Citadel of Buda, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, started in the second half of 2020 with the archaeological excavations, and since then, experts have completed the reconstruction of the north and south fortifications and the retaining wall of the castle hill.

As reported in our newspaper reported in our newspaper, in 2022, on the anniversary of the 1848 revolution and war of independence, Hungary's largest national flag was raised in the middle of the inner courtyard, measuring 72 square metres with a flagpole exceeding 36 metres in height.

The Citadel's green space will be increased by one and a half times to 20,000 square metres, and a new 6,000 square metre public park will be created within the fortress wall. In the western cannon tower, a spectacular and inspiring exhibition will be set up to illustrate the Hungarian struggle for freedom alongside the history of the mountain.

Currently, the rondella is being constructed and the necessary structural works are being carried out, and the ramparts have been opened in several places to accommodate the new access points.
