What was the challenge?:
The horizontal load produced during casting is transmitted from the conical prop system fixed in the panels to a continuous concrete gutter, previously executed, by means of an anchor mooring system. Advantage: with the continuous gutter no previous drills are necessary and allows a rapid advance in the execution of the previous footings; no special tools are necessary; recoverable items.
