Stages of the works

The reconstruction and the extension of the family monastery should stretch on 3 years time. The works will be surveyed by the siblings of Drubpön Ngawang Tenzin, the representative of His Holiness Gyalwang Drukpa in Europe.
We will regularly keep you informed of the progress of the works.

 

Works : September 2011

The temple rises : the upper floor slab is made.
The structural and masonry works are carrying on. The pilars of the temple now bear the upper floor concrete slab.
The outer stairs and the ornated overhanging roof of the entrance already shape the main frontage of the temple.

The works on the outbuilding at the entrance of the site have also made a significant progress. The frontage walls enclose the ground floor and part of the terrace floor.
The facing, made of rough dressed stones, is finely layered on its concrete base.
The quality of the construction materials and the care given to their implementation are a guarantee of the durability of the building.

Works : April 2011

Progress of the structural work : foundations of the temple and first floor slab of the outbuilding.
The works made a significant step. After the completion of the foundations and of the base, the frame of the building at the entrance of the site keeps on rising.
Massive reinforced concrete pillars have been cast. They support a grid of beams as well as the first floor slab.
On the terrace, the bas of the temple is finished : a bedding made of reused stones fills the cells between the trench footings.
At each crossing of the footings, the reinforced concrete pillars start to rise.

Works : January 2011

The base is put up.
On the rim of the temple, now stands the base of the building. It is made of two cut rough stones wall filled with concrete in between.
An iron framework that will guarantee the solidity of the structures connects the temple's pillars.
