The “Cordists” of the Entreprise Monégasque de Travaux Acrobatiques (EMTA) are once again scaling the walls of the Palais Princier, taking on the vital task of cleaning and weeding the historic bastions by hand…
This intricate, chemical-free process is part of the team’s commitment to preserving Monaco’s most treasured landmarks while protecting the health of the workers involved.
Twice a year, the EMTA team of skilled workers performs this careful maintenance to ensure the Palace remains in pristine condition. The work, which involves scaling the heights of the palace walls using ropes, plays a key role in safeguarding the structural integrity and beauty of the iconic site.
EMTA, a leading construction and restoration company in Monaco, specializes in historical building preservation as well as modern construction and maintenance. From earth-moving and excavation to complex masonry and roofing projects, they provide essential services to preserve both Monaco’s heritage and its contemporary structures.
Their expertise extends beyond the Palace, with projects that include building renovation, roofing repairs, and industrial painting. However, it is their dedication to maintaining Monaco’s historical sites that truly sets EMTA apart, ensuring the Principality’s cultural treasures remain protected for generations to come.
