Basement reconstruction underground walls

This type of evaporating-absorbing plasters are listed here only because they are very often proposed to dry-cure air and walls even inside a room and even in the presence of a lift. That is, to pretend to solve everything in one fell swoop.

It is evident that, when used in rooms, these plasters will simply transfer the soil moisture to the indoor environment, increasing it considerably and forcing it to be ventilated continuously, even in winter.

If aeration there must be, what use is the expensive dehumidifying plaster?

Despite this, they are also easily proposed to restore damp basements!

They can keep a wall dry and prevent moisture from rising within it only through such an exasperation of the amount of water evaporated from the wall to be exceeded in volume that of the rising one – naturally including salts!

An example of intervention from the point of view of a structure subject to an innovation from the ground below, is considered by the following images. They describe accurately and accurately in the reconstruction of the first one of a residential building, with the creation of ventilated crawl space by means of an igloo.

A technical feasibility study was carried out on the most appropriate technology and stratigraphy for the case.

The floors, the foundations and the slabs were demolished without damaging the perimeter structures. The earth was excavated until reaching a depth of -50 cm. Then the 20 cm igloos were positioned, above which a 5 cm screed with an electrically welded mesh was made.

The intervention is currently under way and involves the construction of a screed for implant holders and the laying of the final flooring.

Sub-buildings and restoration of stone walls

The underpinning is the most ancient method of interventions on foundations. It is basically a matter of reinforcing the bottom structure by extending it to reach substantial layers of ground and at the same time increasing the contact area at the base in order to reduce the unit load.

The process consists in the realization of wells of variable dimensions that allow the reinforcement and the casting of sub-mats, through partial excavation works, carried out with an operating machine or manually, subsequent leveling and support of the supporting structures (fir beams) for the construction of a structural quadrilateral.

The excavation is carried out in the center of the quadrilateral with natural slopes reaching up to the supporting structure to which we will lean with that of submission.

The shoring then with iron posts inside the environments object of intervention accentuates the degree of security found.

In this way it is possible to proceed with the building renovation of the rooms with exposed brick vaults interspersed with rough wooden beams.

In this context are inserted stone walls with irregular blocks and brick walls laid head and knife horizontally.

Construction site in Canelli:

The walls with stone blocks, sometimes interspersed with bricks, were recovered with careful and meticulous cleaning, eliminating the dust, the stone residues that were falling and closing the cracks.

The same modus operandi has been used for flooring: the mortar is used to standardize the passage but without removing visual dignity to the stone artefact.

The stone continues to be a characterizing subject of the work in the floors and walls.

1647? – 1647? (whole construction)

Attestation of the presence in the territory of the Oratory of the Disciplinati di S. Rocco: the factory has been recently built at the expense of the community and with alms; It is in good condition and is celebrated.

1750 – 1828 (full extension)

In the pastoral visit of 1750, Felissano Bishop of Asti, following the increase of the confreres, has the expansion of the factory and the displacement of the altar according to the new requirements of space. In the report of the State of Churches of 18 September 1828, these works would be made by describing the building with a simple but regular internal structure with a high altar to the east and to the west.

1883 – 1900 (full description)

The church is rectangular in shape of fired bricks; the walls are well sheltered without paints; the floor is healthy but irregular; the roof is pitched with wooden structure tiles. There are six windows with glazing in good condition; the presbytery is raised from the floor of the church by two steps; there is a single scagliola altar with a common structure, with a crucifix cross and candlesticks; it has the rectangular scagliola tabernacle marbled outside on whose little door the resurrection of N. S. G.C. ; there is a pulpit conveniently placed with a cross and a crucifix; there is the semicircular chorus; the altar is surrounded by a wooden balustrade about a meter from the predella.

1929 – 1929 (full description)
