Patent number: 8926227Abstract: A method of raising a building structure (1) with respect to the ground (2); the method including the steps of: forming a mat (7) having a number of through holes (12), each surrounded by a number of upward-projecting ties (16); inserting a foundation pile (9) through each hole (12); attaching to each foundation pile (9) a lifting device (11), which on one side rests on the top end of the foundation pile (9), and on the other side is secured to the corresponding ties (16) which act as reaction members; exerting thrust on the foundation piles (9) by means of the lifting devices (11) to lift the building structure (1) with respect to the ground (2); dividing lift of the building structure (1) into a succession of lift steps; establishing a predetermined lift value for each lift step; and, at each lift step, operating each lifting device (11) to expand the lifting device (11) by exactly the predetermined lift step value.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2008Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignees: SO.L.E.S.—Societa' Lavori Edili E Serbatoi S.p.A., Mattioli S.p.A.Inventors: Roberto Zago, Lamberto Zambianchi, Gioacchino Marabello, Stefano Scuttari

Patent number: 7967531Abstract: A method of raising a building with respect to the ground; the method including the steps of: forming a mat having a number of through holes; inserting a foundation pile through each hole; fitting each foundation pile with a lifting device; exerting thrust on the foundation piles by means of the lifting devices to raise the building with respect to the ground; and fixing each foundation pile axially to the mat once the building is raised; the lifting devices are divided into three equivalent, symmetrical, independent work groups; and the lifting devices of one work group at a time are activated simultaneously, so that the building is raised isostatically, by simultaneously activating the lifting devices of one work group at a time, while the lifting devices of the other two work groups are left idle.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2008Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignees: S.O.L.E.S. - Societa' Lavori Edili e Serbatoi S.p.A., Mattioli S.p.A.Inventors: Vincenzo Collina, Gioacchino Marabello, Roberto Zago, Lamberto Zambianchi

Patent number: 7556453Abstract: A method of constructing a pile foundation, wherein a foundation structure is built on the ground, and has at least one through hole, and a connecting member fixed to the foundation structure, adjacent to the hole, and having at least one portion projecting upwards; a pile is inserted through the hole; and a number of thrusts are applied statically on the pile, to drive the pile into the ground, by means of a thrust device, which is located over the pile, cooperates with a top end of the pile, and is connected to the projecting portion of the connecting member which, when driving the pile, acts as a reaction member for the thrust device.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2003Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: SO. L.E.S. -Societa′ Lavori Edili E Serbatoi S.p.A.Inventors: Vincenzo Collina, Roberto Zago, Lamberto Zambianchi
