Before the collapse, this retaining and retaining wall of a private property in the municipality of Orselina, built entirely of stone blocks bound with cement, boasted impressive dimensions:<\/p>\n
The collapsed portion was found to have 12.00 m. Of length, over 4.50 m. height and with a base of 1.20 m.<\/p>\n
The wall had been built to contain a large terrace on had been built a villa from the im-<\/p>\n
bearing cubage and which also included an outdoor swimming pool.<\/p>\n
The terrain in question had a steep slope: due to continuous subsurface seepage, which was not visible but nonetheless present, the retaining wall, as mentioned, had a subsidence in the foundation that dragged part of the structure downstream, causing extensive damage to the building below as well.<\/p>\n
Our project, in collaboration with a geology and civil engineering firm, remedied the<\/p>\n
situation created, realizing a safe and modern work, especially of the safety point of view.<\/p>\n
To overcome the problem of subsurface seepage, a network of collection channels was created<\/p>\n
and water disposal, so as to ensure that never again can there be such problems.<\/p>\n
The remaining portions of the old stone wall that did not collapse were then partly demolished and rebuilt<\/p>\n
and, where possible, maintained but made absolutely safe.<\/p>\n
