This 11 meter high gallery was reinforced using a
layer of sprayed liquid concrete to prevent the ground above from continuing
to fall into the quarry. The concrete was then further strengthened with a
masonry arch. Nowadays, the Inspector General of Quarries reinforces
dangerous areas with injections of liquid cement, a procedure that can be
carried out from the surface. In order to prevent serious accidents, the
Inspector General of Quarries restricts building permits in areas located
above ancient quarries.
