INTERVENTION ON THE GOVERNMENT OF THE PALACE PORTAL DE L'Aquila L'Aquila
1-7 October 2009 After securing of the building part of the Government Palace and the beginning of the works of the Eagle protection of the remaining parts of walls exposed to weather (being very sensitive to what type of "bag") by spreading (spray) of mortar and cover with sheets laid in Onduline operates on steel pipe, it passed to the that now remained the only obstacle to acceder inside the building is complete and the safety inside the completion of recovery material. The biggest problem was represented by the main entrance which was formed by a colonnade of four columns of marble circular ringed on them to form a thick disc for those who ranged in thirty to forty centimeters. On it rested the Roof made of pieces of marble parallelepiped of various measures to form joints. At the base there was the architrave brackets which, at the height of the first column on the left (facing the entrance), following the earthquake was dangerously curved creating the escape of some segments and the consequent lowering of the central part dell'architravi itself. All this part of the structure seems to have found its balance but not quite stable enough to allow operations on the underside, much less groped, as previously planned, raising the structure by hydraulic jacks. The balance extremely weak and the primary factor "worker safety", which made it opts for a process of "dismantling of all the segments affected by the disruption of the architrave making a first start shoring safety of the entire structure , all taking into account that it had suffered some columns on the phenomena of rotation and breakage at the base and also around the portal had suffered a slight tilt toward the beginning of the square. While some of the staff of Group S.AF. Campania began shoring works, which involved the installation of steel pipe to support (and on the bracket) acting between the two columns on each side of the entrance, making the same columns as "solidarity" with each other by bands polyester. In the central part of the portal was done with the same materials, a work support, and possible protection from collapse, blocks of the soffit. Other members of the organized group that had the delicate task of the repertoire of the segments as completed the safety, would follow the "dismantling" of the segments by means of "relief action" of the architrave, which consisted the removal of a slab on the extrados and then get to the concerts from top to bottom. The repertoire began doing some photographic surveys of the initial state of the house, then went to the numbering of the stones of the facade of the portal (in cardinal numbers) of the facade and soffit (in Roman numerals). Even at this stage is followed by a photographic documentation supported by a drawing / sketch, which stated in detail the number of concerts and their exact position, which is useful in cases where the photo was not possible to discern the exact allocation. In short, a sort of "puzzle" which was not possible to do with digital media since the operation was not only long and complex, but not feasible for the lack of means.
completed the repertoire and the partial putting in emergency deliveries to the team were left upright (always of the Campania SAF), which would proceed according to the guidelines outlined by the team smontante and endorsed by those responsible.
