Pyramid of Djoser

Value:
The Pyramid of Djoser, designed by the Vizier Imhotep for Pharaoh Djoser, is the world’s earliest large-scale stone structure.
The step pyramid rises to approximately 62m and is underlain by an extensive 6km network of tunnels and chambers, forming a monument of exceptional archaeological and historical significance.
A severe earthquake in 1992 caused major structural damage, including partial collapse of the burial chamber and instability within the central core of the pyramid. The complex internal voids and fragile historic fabric created significant risks, with the potential for further collapse. Any intervention needed to stabilise the structure without damaging or altering its archaeological integrity.
The stabilisation works successfully secured the central chamber and surrounding structure, preventing further collapse and safeguarding the pyramid for the future.
The intervention provided a discreet yet robust solution, enabling the continued preservation of one of the world’s most important ancient monuments.
