CONSOLIDATION OF STONE, BRICK, MIXED OR CONCRETE MASONRY

The causes of the decay of the ancient walls can depend on the disintegration of the mortar that keeps together stones or bricks. This problem is, however, also caused by the humidity rising. Other causes may be invoked to sagging foundations, or vibration caused by traffic, seismic activity may also impact on reinforced concrete walls.

The wall consolidation is carried out with:

• the use of carbon fibers which create a reinforcement for the structure to be reconsolidate

• wall injections with premixed mortars

• structural consolidation using epoxy resins.

The use of injections in the masonry is a minimally invasive intervention from the visual point of view because it does not alter the aesthetic appearance of the structure.
