The contribution of the Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine in the restoration of the minaret of Maqam Rad al-Shams (pictures)

The Engineering Projects Department of the Al-Abbas's (p) Shrine contributed to the restoration of the minaret of Maqam Rad al-Shams (the return of the sun) in the province of Babylon.

The works were supervised by the Al-Kafeel Center for Engineering Studies, Research and Consulting of the Department.

The work of the contribution to the restoration of the Maqam minaret was distributed in two stages, the first of which came by conducting ground-based radar penetration survey of the site of the Maqam, and reaching the survey work paths and results with the development of conclusions for the stage.

The second stage was to carry out injection works for the Maqam minaret site, using salt-resistant cement to address the scope of weakness and gaps to strengthen the foundations of the Maqam, after developing an integrated work plan that included clarifying the purpose of the work and identifying its most important requirements, through the provision of machinery and equipment necessary to carry out drilling injection works, and the processing 64 tons of resistant cement and the processing of plasticizing additives from well-established companies.

The second stage of the restoration work also included the setting of the stages of work for implementation, which included site preparation work on the previously prepared study, followed by showing the results of excavation work and injection work for the Maqam.

The restoration works in the second stage also developed interrelated images to identify the damage occurring primarily from the inside and outside, the progress of injection works, excavation works, lining and hedging of pipes and injections, and monitoring the excavation and injection works and their impact on the structure.

The Al-Abbas's (p) Shrine made this contribution after direct guidance by His Eminence Sayed Ahmad al-Safi, as the contribution was made by specialized personnel for injection works and strengthening the foundations and walls of the Maqam.
