MEASURES ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED TO PROTECT THE MAUSOLEUM AREA FROM MOISTURE

Granite tiles at the entrance portal of the Yasawi Mausoleum have been replaced. Tile bricks specially produced at the manufacturing workshop of the “Kazkaitazhanartu” enterprise were laid over an area of 227 m².

According to the results of the institution’s scientific research and analysis, the previously installed granite tiles had prevented the natural evaporation of moisture in the soil layer caused by rain and snowmelt. As a result, the exterior and interior walls of the mausoleum became damp, and salt efflorescence appeared.

In this regard, bricks were developed and laid that do not disrupt the architectural appearance of the historic structure and allow natural moisture distribution and free air exchange.

The “Kazkaitazhanartu” institution will continue measures to eliminate moisture in the mausoleum area and prevent the risk of humidity. This is a scientific and engineering solution aimed at the long-term preservation of the historical monument.
