Concrete diagnosis for the repurposing of an iconic cityscape

The legendary Cine Palace complex in Kortrijk is undergoing a major transformation. To safely repurpose this historic building for a modern mix of functions, SANACON conducted a specialized concrete study into the condition of the existing structure.

Our approach:

  • Condition assessment: Detailed inspection of the concrete floors and columns to identify hidden defects and damage patterns.

  • Durability study: Analysis of the carbonation depth to determine the remaining life of the reinforcement protection.

  • Restoration advice: Preparation of a technical recommendation for the necessary concrete repairs, aimed at maintaining structural integrity under the new layout.

Result: SANACON’s expertise provided the construction team with the necessary assurance regarding the technical condition of the concrete. This allowed the renovation work to be based on objective data, while respecting the architectural value of this Kortrijk heritage site.
