The reconstruction works in buildings under emergency conditions and, more specifically, the foundation repaired has been poorly documented in rehabilitation. This is due, in some extend, to not make public this type of reports mainly due to its complexity and possible related responsibilities. In the present article, the foundation recovery of a building with 40 flats, located in Seville, Spain, near the Guadalquivir River which was affected by the excavations of an underground parking lot are explained. Three different techniques are considered and compared; finally, the micropile solution implemented is explained, technically and economically. Micropiles were chosen due to, among other aspects, the soil quality. The experience gives rise to three main factors in a successful work: the organization, the scheduling and the neighbors’ participation in the work programming.
