Collaboration with IPPAH

The Geological Techniques Unit collaborates with the IPAAH group: Instrument for the Protection of Historic and Artistic Heritage, a multidisciplinary group that represents a paradigm shift in structural fire suppression. IPPHA introduces new action protocols, specific intervention procedures, and advanced extinguishing and protection techniques, all specifically designed to safeguard cultural heritage.

In situations like this recent one: Fire in a church next to the Alhambra in Granada

IPPHA represents a crucial opportunity to protect and preserve art for future generations. The implementation of this instrument ensures that valuable historic and artistic heritage is not lost to the devastation of a fire, providing a specialized approach that is aware of the importance of these resources.
