5.The basic support of construction works
The current method for preparation of the foundations under new buildings is very expensive and time consuming. It consists of drilling many wholes, setting steel -frames into these wholes, and them pouring unset concrete into each of these openings. Soil degraded during the process must be treated or disposed of.
The new technology offers a new, cost-efficient way of building foundations. By drilling A hole 40 cm in diameter and then inserting the torch, the sedimentary rocks and/or Soils around the torch are fused. This process produces a vitrified column 2 to 3 meters in diameter which is much stronger than concrete. The benefits of this technology are: 1. It is stronger and more reliable than the current method; and 2. there is no need to dispose of soils.
This method still requires additional experimentation and documentation. Research has shown that holes for wooden buildings are necessarily shallower than for concrete buildings -2-3 meters in length.
