KYIV – The administration of the National Sanctuary Complex “Sophia of Kyiv,” together with patrons of the historic preserve’s renovation, on September 16 presented a project to drain the foundations and walls of St. Sophia Cathedral and adjacent monasteries of excessive moisture, thus saving them for future generations.
The process is to be implemented with innovative Swiss equipment, called the BioDry system, that is used for natural restoration of a proper level of humidity. The equipment will help restore the microclimate in the cathedral buildings and eliminate excessive moisture. Similar technology is used to preserve cultural heritage sites around the world.
