Monument Clearance Unit

The Monument Clearance Unit has only one person who is responsible for 48 workers (most of them are specialists in carpentry). They perform such tasks as:

  • Clearing all kinds of small plants that are growing on the temple.
  • Cooperating with all groups of the temple's conservation in order to survey dangerous places or collapsed areas of the temple and then ask the Maintenance Unit to have an emergency intervention.
  • Collaborating with the Maintenance Unit by installing wooden scaffolding for supporting the dangerous places.
