Restoration of the minaret of the holy shrine of Imamai Al Javadin (piece be upon them)

one of the four historical minarets of the holy shrine of Imamain Al Javadin (piece be upon him) tilted about 80 cm and the danger of the fall of minaret came up, this problem was put high on the agenda and servants of the holy shrine started to investigate it.

Danger of the fall of minarets

The custodian of the Holy shrine of Imamai Al Javadin (piece be upon them) sought to find a group of experts to control the minaret from the danger of falling and to implement the restoration plan.

Seeing the ability of Iranian engineers to implement the plan to strengthen and reduce the columns of the holy shrine of Imam Hussein (piece be upon him), the custodian of the holy shrine asked the reconstruction headquarters to make a contribution to this complicated engineering project.

Technical and engineering studies show that due to the looseness of the minaret, the risk of falling during the project was high. Historical and traditional shape of the minaret should be preserved, therefore, a steel protection structure called "Support" was applied to complete the reinforcement.
