However, several factors pose a threat, including rust, pollution inherent to its location in a big city, bird droppings and the weather. The Eiffel Tower is made of puddle iron, a material that could last almost forever if it is repainted regularly. The painting campaign: a mammoth project for the future of the Tower
The monument is currently undergoing the biggest works campaign in 40 years, conducted by SETE (Société d’Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel) and comprising three projects of an exceptional scale carried out at the same time.
The latest maintenance campaigns are all the more important as the Tower will be a central feature of the images of Paris during the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2024. Needless to say, the Iron Lady is now over 133 years old and needs to be looked after to preserve her eternal beauty and youth!Ī monument of this kind requires constant maintenance and care, but also more extensive work campaigns over specific periods of time to ensure its longevity and welcome its nearly 6 million visitors each year in the best conditions. Parisians, visitors from France and abroad… Many of you have seen the different types of worksite equipment in use at the Tower since 2018, either at close hand or from a distance: nets, ropes, scaffolding, construction site elevators, etc.
