CONSOLIDATION OF STONE, BRICK OR MIXED VAULTS

The consolidation of any kind of vault, either cross vault or barrel vault, made of brick or stone, begins by emptying the upper part from debris or materials which are not integral with the vault. Then we proceed with the stiffening and flow rate increase through the addition of a new scaffold and a side curb to the surrounding walls. At a later stage a supporting base is created in order to relieve the structure of the incident loads. Finally the damages in the underlying part are stitched by mortars and epoxy resins.
