Introduction  \nThe safeguard of the built heritage has been gaining an increased importance among the various entities related to construction. Nevertheless, the shift of paradigm that needs to take place in order to achieve an overlap of new construction by rehabilitation/reuse of buildings is still far from being established in contemporary society.  \nHowever, there are a few construction techniques, which have been successfully implemented for several years, that enable the execution of temporary and definitive works, namely excavations in urban areas and underpinning, in an economical, practical and, above all, safe manner. The growing number of projects of this nature was not accompanied by the development of standards and codes of practice specifically dedicated to this subject. As a result, it is often required from engineers to thoughtfully adapt the existing regulations, applied to new construction, to the project at hand.  \nThis paper, whose main objective is to review/overview some of the construction techniques associated with underpinning operations and the systematization of the needed steps applicable to two procedures in particular (micropiles and jet grouting), aims to incorporate, in a single document, the most important features and the safety requirements involved in these projects.  \nFinally, three case studies of underpinning are presented, concerning the application of the stated techniques, design by the company JetSJ Geotecnia, Lda, between March and September of 2010.  \n2. Underpinning project and construction techniques  \nThe rehabilitation of an existing building, mostly 40 to 50 years old, motivated by a change of use or structural damage, which may be a consequence of insufficient soil bearing capacity, may require an underpinning project.  \nThis type of work requires skilled labour, not only constructors, but also in the planning stage, since there is not an universal solution applicable to all cases. In fact, the underpinning solution depends on many factors, among which are the mechanical properties of the support stratum of soil, the conservation conditions of the foundation elements and, above all, the restrictions imposed during this operation.  \nThe need for reinforcement of foundations is generally associated with works under an existing construction or in their immediate proximity (changes in boundary conditions of the ground foundation), or induced by the degradation with time of the foundation stratum. The first case is becoming increasingly common in urban areas, due to the need of mobility, resulting in the execution of tunnels or underpasses, but also the creation of underground car parks, associated with the construction of several levels of basements.  \nIt is possible to intervene in various manners in order to reinforce/underpin foundations. One possibility is to improve the soil mechanical properties, increasing its bearing capacity and its stiffness. On the other hand, it is also possible to act on the foundation itself, improving its resistance or reducing the foundation-soil contact stresses.  \n2.1. Micropiles  \nMicropiles are presented as a variant of deep foundations, and consist of piles of small diameter between 75mm and 350mm, cast in situ, vertical or executed with an angle. These elements, when compressed, transmit their forces to the ground primarily by lateral friction (floating piles), although there is a small contribution from the bearing resistance. In general, the execution of micropiles is divided into the following","cbCailDyNnbpe769","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailDyNnbpe769","pdf",996693,13,"English","# 1. Introduction\n# 2.
