Lifting a Historic Building for Renovation

Customer

Bresser

Location

Tbilisi, Georgia

Challenge

Renovation of a historic building in Georgia’s capital required the foundation to be repaired after it had sunk into the ground. The 100-year-old building needed to be lifted 3.4 meters onto pylons in order to be renovated.

Solution

A 16-point SyncLift system and 39 hydraulic jacks were used to synchronously lift the building onto pylons. Five and half meter long pylons were driven through the first floor and into the concrete foundation. Mounted on-top of each pylon was a bracket and a double-acting hydraulic jack. Four threaded steel rods were run through each pylon bracket and connected to a structure supporting the foundation of the building. As each jack advanced the top portion of the bracket was lifted, raising the foundation of the building. The SyncLift system provided the operator the ability to monitor and control every jack from a single touch-screen controller. The foundation of the historic building was successfully lifted and repaired.
