Ra‘oum Castle

Re-seat the stair approach and arrest water ingress into the rock footing of Ra‘oum Castle.

1. Record condition photographically with the marker in frame before any intervention.
2. Strip loose render by hand; no mechanical cutting on original fabric.
3. Extract salts with clay poultice at the rising damp line; allow two drying cycles.
4. Re-point and rebuild the base course with clay + chopped hay mortar, matching the existing mix.
5. Re-seat timber lintels in jujube / tamarisk, packed with stone and mud.
6. Lay the plastic isolator at the base to break capillary rise; reinstate the gypsum band.
7. Capture post-repair state and close the loop in the ledger.

No cement, no modern render, no replacement of original fabric beyond what the measurement requires. Any deviation is a scope change requiring engineer sign-off.
