Brief description:

At the request of the Government of Andorra and following previous studies for the restoration of one of the most emblematic medieval bridges in the country, we were commissioned to study the damages and degradations of the materials that make up the bridge, as well as the characterization of existing old mortars. However, once the characteristics of the old mortars were known, several designs of lime mortars with hydraulic capacity were made for their subsequent use in the restoration.
