STEP 2:
Creation of micropiles behind the existing walls. These micropiles will be used
to support the new concrete and steel structures. Once the micropiles are completed, we
will proceed with the creation of the plinths.
During this operation, the single micropile will be partially demolished to make the
reinforcement tube visible; the flanges will be welded to this reinforcement with the aim
of transmitting the stress resulting from the pillars above (Fig. 49 and reference point in
the figure n.4).
